Our friends at Our Consumer Place recently released a pair of great guides which dive deeply into the issues many people with mental illness face in finding and sustaining meaningful employment. Our Consumer Place is a resource centre run entirely by people diagnosed with mental illness. It aims to provide resources, training, support and advice on the topic from the perspective of those who have a lived experience with mental illness. There are times where this lived experience can sometimes be overlooked in discussions about mental illness. Yet Our Consumer Place believes it provides a crucial source of insight that is of value and must be respected. We believe that we are part of an important cultural shift, towards valuing and respecting the lived experience of mental illness. Our Consumer Places two new guides are entitled: • Mad Workplaces: A commonsense guide for people with mental illness on how to navigate the workplace • Mad Workplaces: A commonsense guide for workplaces about working alongside people with mental illness. The books are aimed at providing realistic and useful resources that are grounded in “lived experience” and are willing to delve into the hard stuff.
