Disclosure and Support for Invisible Disabilities

Not an easy answer.

This is not an easy decision to make.  There are so many factors to consider:


  • What could wrong?
  • How can it work for you?
  • What should  you consider?


These are all pertinent questions to ask.  Working for organizations that understand self-care and espouse those values within their environment make all the difference.  They also may help you make these decisions.


This is an excellent resource to answer those questions.    This site is based in Alberta, but it is an excellent resource for all Canadians.
