About the talk
Who’s Disclosing? The Influence of Mental Illness Disclosure on Stigma Mitigation in Hiring
Stigma is a significant obstacle that job candidates with mental illness face during the hiring process. Job candidates can strategically disclose their mental illness to combat stigma. In this talk, I will describe my research examining why job candidates with mental illness disclose during the hiring process, and the consequences of them doing so.
