Legal Workshops-Mental Health in the Workplace: Rights and Responsibilities of Youth with Disabilities

From August to October of 2019, the Cerebral Palsy Association of BC hosted a webinar series titled “Mental Health in the Workplace: Rights and Responsibilities of Youth with Disabilities“. This series addressed the issues of mental health in the workplace for youth with disabilities. The workshops were given by Laura Track (Human Rights Clinic) and Sara Forte (Forte Law). 

Topics included:

  • Human Rights basics and the “duty to accommodate” in the workplace
  • Employee and employer responsibilities around mental health in the workplace
  • Requests for medical information including mental health status
  • Procedures to file a human a human rights complaint efficiently

Watch the workshops on our YouTube channel. 

Podcast series (fall 2018):

Part 1: An Overview of Human Rights
Part 2: Duty to Accommodate
Part 3: Applying for an Accommodation
Part 4: Filing a human rights complaint and the early settlement meeting

Legal Resources

Living in a diverse society can mean having to navigate differences, assert rights and access opportunities. Fortunately there are tools and resources that may assist, as well as community resources that can support you through complex systems. We collected some of the most commonly-asked questions and scenarios from our members, and put together a series of workshops and booklet about them.

What do you do if you feel you are being overlooked for employment because of your disability? What is a “bona fide” occupational requirement and how does it affect you? What does it mean to have your parenting questioned due to your lack of mobility? How can your child continue to be supported as they transition into post-secondary education and adulthood?

Legal Rights and Resources, for people living with cerebral palsy and other disabilities

Legal Rights and Resources for people living with cerebral palsy and other disabilities is designed to answer these questions and support those with disabilities to live a Life Without Limits. Download the booklet.

The topics covered include:

  • Workplace discrimination and harassment
  • School supports for children with cerebral palsy
  • Youth ageing out of supports
  • Victims of crime
  • Parenting with a disability
  • Non-workplace based discrimination or harassment

 

We gratefully acknowledge the support of the Law Foundation of British Columbia and the Notary Foundation of British Columbia for this project.
