Mind Over Matter: Bringing Your Whole Self to Work

Years ago, I was told I would never be able to hold a full-time job or be a functioning member of society—all because of my mental health.

Understanding how to shift your mindset and turn your personal challenges into career-building strengths
Identify what you need from your employer to thrive at work
Mental health resources that are available to everyone
