I am hesitant because ... [explain reason here]

It would give Jalene something else to focus on, instead of her negative train of thoughts. Hopefully with feelings of success, she would feel of a sense of self worth, and able to deal with other matters better.

# data[].attributes.body
She has her good days and her bad days. Overall, if she has more good days than bad days, she will still be able to contribute to the organisation and work as part of a team effectively. She might be talented and competent in ways that I am not and I might be able to learn from her.

# data[].attributes.body
I will seek first to understand

1) what are the triggers
(triggers are different from persons to person)

2) how to support them

and give the person a chance to work (when their minds are occupied, then it can help them to reduce the chances of negative thoughts occurring) especially if the role/tasks are the right fit for them :)

They need opportunity to reinforce their self confidence.

# data[].attributes.body
I am totally supportive as Jalene will need a place to feel important and still useful to the society, community and country on her good days. It will be not only a form of distraction from the negative feelings dwelling in her, but also a form of strength for her to talk and coach herself out of the dark pit on her bad days.

# data[].attributes.body
I will standby a family member regardless of what illness they may have and would certainly want them to employed. Employment would giving them a sense of responsibility, independence and ability to contribute . It will help in their recovery process.

# data[].attributes.body
I am supportive because as family, i definitely want my daughter/sister (Jalene) etc. to be able to feed herself, find purpose in life through having a career she enjoys.

As for her mental illness, I know that she is receiving help (since she knows how to replace ANTs etc), and I will also be there for her to cheer her on, and support her on "bad" days

# data[].attributes.body
The employer should hire a person with mental illness, like Jalene, for the job, because they are able to manage their stress and can work independently. In a sense, they are able to function as anyone else. Although they may still be receiving help to learn how best to overcome their negative thoughts, they are no less than any person. Furthermore, Jalene has put in the effort to deal with the challenges that she has. I am sure that this will greatly help her to get on track.

# data[].attributes.body
I am worried how Jalene will fend for herself when we are not around. She knows how to manage herself and knows how to seek help when needed. She is intelligent and educated and can do the job as good as any other person.
The government says it want inclusive society and we hope employers can step up

# data[].attributes.body
I don't mind to be a colleague of Jalene as people suffer from mental illness also need a job. However, I'm not sure whether I'm able to support her when she is emotionally drain.

(1) Stress from work could trigger and could cause further harm to the person
(2) If other colleagues are not trained and their social interactions with the person could also cause harm to him/her
(3) If there are deadlines and the person cannot fulfill these deadlines, it could also trigger further harm

# data[].attributes.body
It depends on the job that she is applying for. I will advise her to apply for jobs which are less stressful and related to her interest.
It is good to be kept meaningfully occupied so that she can take her mind off negative thoughts.

# data[].attributes.body
I am supportive of Jalene looking for & being employed. On the days when she is well, she can be a productive employee. It would also give her a sense of purpose & motivation in life.

On the other hand, I am slightly hesitant because I have seen her on her bad days. I feel she will need to be open with her prospective employer about her condition. With the necessary support & understanding, I think this could be a win-win situation for both parties.

# data[].attributes.body
I would like to employ someone with MI as we  should be an inclusive society. I think as long as we are clear of how to handle any situations that come up, we shd be able to work well with them.

However, we must also consider, if things were to happen, the individual needs to be away, how will the others employee take over and will they be overwhelmed with the additinonal loads to them.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes because everyone needs the opportunity to re-integrate themselves back into society. There will be bad days for Jalene - of which, then the employer should brief the other employees and they should be ready to help to cover work if necessary. Jalene is capable of good work and being given a chance to work in an area of her passion would give her a lot more confidence - perhaps even help her reframe her thoughts. The employer should look into adjusting Jalene's workload and making sure it is manageable for her.

# data[].attributes.body
I'll choose to understand the applicant's condition first and based on his/her passion for the job, I'll see if he/she is suitable for the post. Will choose to be fair to the applicant.

# data[].attributes.body
Living in a country that believes in inclusivity, we should support people like Jalene. Working opportunities can be customised to accommodate to her broad needs that will not impact too drastically on the operations of the job in nature.

# data[].attributes.body
If this is your family member or yourself what will you want to do?
Even DBS CEO Piyush Gupta has experienced MH issues

# data[].attributes.body
If she has more bad days than good days and since she has filled the headcount and the organisation will not hire any more people, my team and I would be expected to do her share of the work and that would be unfair.
Perhaps she can be hired on a project basis. Paid upon completion of certain work. Else, it will be inevitable that my team and I have to do her work if there are deadlines to be met.

# data[].attributes.body
I will hire Jalene provided these conditions are met:

1. There is a grant from government that provides a support system (e.g. residence councilor) on site at the work place that can support her and other colleagues with emotional distress
2. If her skills set is competent (based on resume/ first impression)

# data[].attributes.body
Considering the fact that we are an inclusive society, accepting an individual from such background is definitely a positive act. What comes after that is the effort of the employer to implement strategies to support Jalene. She might be the most productive employee for all you know.

# data[].attributes.body
In the perspective of an employer, I will have to prioritize both results and ability.

While depression is an issue, I will also be looking at Jalene's work ability, resume and other competencies to have a better decision on whether to hire her or not. Ultimately it is also about the results that the employee can produce too.

Everyone whether with or without mental issues such as depression have different strengths and weaknesses. Hence, it may be wise to look holistically in a person before making a decision.

# data[].attributes.body
The employer can try to consider if Jalene can perform the job adequately, despite the mental illness. Perhaps the effects of the mental illness might affect her work negatively, but I think they should look at whether Jalene has an abundance of talent, hard work or resources that can make up for the negative parts. Other candidates might be worse overall.

Jalene would also likely be more grateful for the opportunity, therefore she may stay loyal with the company.

# data[].attributes.body
The reason why I did not choose "Certainly Yes" is because I am not 100% confident in handling all possible difficult situations, should any arise. I also understand how challenging it can be to be constantly supporting someone with mental health issues.

However, I can totally accept someone with mental health issues as a colleague. I feel at at some points in our career, we might also feel the high level of stress and even develop mental health issues along the way as well (be it diagnosed or not). Strong support among colleagues is definitely something very important in this journey.

# data[].attributes.body
I would say yes.The role is an assistant role, If she is not well, we can cover for her, just like anyone of us would cover for each other when we are sick. She has learnt coping strategies like ANTS. So for us we will just learn to be a team and be supportive of her as she also has many strengths to contribute. And we all have our bad days too.....not just her. We get by with some help from our friends.

# data[].attributes.body
I think employers should give them a chance to try out the job and see if they are suited for it. Then, perhaps Jalene will be less cooped up at home and feel good about herself when she derives satisfaction from work.

# data[].attributes.body
As a friend, I will encourage Jalene to give it a try. With something to work on, it will occupy her time instead of having negative thoughts. At work, she will also be able to meet more people whom she can interact with, especially people with positive vibes.

# data[].attributes.body
People with mental illness should also be given the chance to be self-reliant, and to lead meaningful lives. Having mental illness is part of Jalene, but it shouldn't define who she is, or at least be the sole factor. No one is perfect. With or without mental illness, we all need the trust and support of one another. Key thing is to try to understand, and lend the appropriate support to one another, so that we can all help one another to live meaningfully.

# data[].attributes.body
United as a family. Will support and encourage her to take up a job she likes to help her move on with her life.

# data[].attributes.body
yes, the employer can hire Jalene if the employer feels that Jalene is very keen in that position and has structures in place to manage her clinical depression. Jalene must ensure she gets medical and professional help to support her so that she will feel more confident to go out to work. The employer can express to Jalene that he is open to supporting her in her mental well-being and to join the work force and contribute positively

# data[].attributes.body
If she can cope with the work, equal opportunities for all. But the employer can help by making special arrangement should there be a breakdown e.g. understand occasions when she need to take a break to cool down

# data[].attributes.body
I am willing to help and see how she is coping during her work. We try to help her out to give support.

# data[].attributes.body
Hopefully Jalene will make friends at work place.

# data[].attributes.body
I am supportive as everyone deserve an equal chance. Everyone go through different phases in their life. She will have her strength and others can definitely learn something from her too. So long as she is trying her best everyday, everyone else around her should be supportive.

# data[].attributes.body
Be supportive of Jalene as she takes on her new role. It may be a catalyst for her to come out of her comfort zone. If she is unable to cope, be there to affirm her and provide a listening ear.

# data[].attributes.body
1. If there are no grants that allows me to support this staff, then it will be a liability to the company and the team that is working with her.

2. It will lead to an unfair workplace dynamics and might cause resentment and unhappiness within the workplace.

# data[].attributes.body
If there is potential discrimination against my friend at her workplace, definite NO. I don't need her mental health to be worsened by work stress and peer pressure from lack of understanding towards her condition.

# data[].attributes.body
Most jobs would like the person to be present 99% of the time. Jalene's potential lack of stability with regards to attendance might affect employability.

# data[].attributes.body
It is heartening to see that Jalene is conscious of taking active steps to manage her stressors well. Bearing in mind of this, as a client, I can be understanding towards her situation.

# data[].attributes.body
If the jobs are demanding for them and it isn't a right fit for them, then it will be a no. (it demoralise them further and lead to more triggers).

It will not be beneficial for them in the long run.

# data[].attributes.body
As colleague, I may not know her condition well. I may have different in optional in term of working.
Unless I know her well her condition, then I would like to say yes.

# data[].attributes.body
As a family member, I will take her to see a doctor to stabilise herself so she can contribute to the community safely.

# data[].attributes.body
As the employer, I would be concerned about her bad days and how it would affect her performance at work. If her family members are unable to help her even on her bad days, I will be able to do even less as her employer. This would also contribute to her colleagues' workload if they need to cover her when she is away on medical leave.

# data[].attributes.body
I am supportive of her being a contributing member of society and finding her self-worth in her strengths. She will certainly not have an easy journey ahead, amidst the stressors at work that may likely to happen, this experience will however make her find her ground and work out some coping strategies.

# data[].attributes.body
If her condition is really bad, like she can be suicidal etc. on bad days, I may dissuade her from doing so for her own safety and well-being.

Also, lack of understanding and discrimination from colleagues may worsen her condition.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes definitely because no matter what I will stand by my family as family support is important. Having a job may keep them occupied and provide them a sense of responsibility.

# data[].attributes.body
project deadlines are real. Penalties would have to be paid to the client if we are delayed.
If she is missing from work for long periods of time, we may lose the project.
Clients can be difficult. Can she handle the stress?

# data[].attributes.body
We need to give everyone a chance. If boss accepted her means she is capable to do her job. Boss can brief us her conditions so that we can better help manage her in bad days. I will support her whenever she needs help.

# data[].attributes.body
I have to find out more about the conditions of Jalene, whether she is able to cope with the demands of the job nature. We should not want to have a situation that will worsen her conditions if the job nature is not suitable for Jalene

# data[].attributes.body
If the condition is unstable and unpredictable, it will be difficult to work with her and we need to anticipate sudden changes in plans and back-up plans must be always in place. It will also create issues to other colleagues such as the need to 'tank' her workload should she be absent unexpectedly.

# data[].attributes.body
Who will be covering her tasks when she breaks down? How often will she break down? what happens when she breaks down when we are with clients?

# data[].attributes.body
The best way to certify her wellness for work is based on a doctor's recommendation, but if she has a meltdown, it will be extremely difficult and stressful for my staffs to handle her.

# data[].attributes.body
She can work for AWWA instead of the architecture firm to be surrounded by counselors who can provide support.

# data[].attributes.body
Need to consider both employer and employee sides. But as a family member of Jalene, I will closely monitor her mental health, stay with her in her bad days. At the same time I keep in touch with her employer to see anything I can help and support Jalene at home.
