Would your behaviour differ between someone with and without a mental health condition? by Calista Roch https://padlet.com/calistaroch/lgef2v22ebobuiy4 en-us 2021-01-13 01:52:51 UTC 2026-01-29 06:00:30 UTC hello@padlet.com I believe it is important not to stigmatise them. And offering them preferential or different treatment does not help integrate them back to the workforce or society. calistaroch https://padlet.com/calistaroch/lgef2v22ebobuiy4/wish/1330193540 2021-03-19 15:17:17 UTC https://padlet.com/calistaroch/lgef2v22ebobuiy4/wish/1330193540 i think we should generally treat them the same because they would want to feel included calistaroch https://padlet.com/calistaroch/lgef2v22ebobuiy4/wish/1330194522 2021-03-19 15:17:28 UTC https://padlet.com/calistaroch/lgef2v22ebobuiy4/wish/1330194522 Colleagues with mental illnesses deserve to be treated just like any of my other colleagues unless they requested to be treated differently in a certain aspect or way. calistaroch https://padlet.com/calistaroch/lgef2v22ebobuiy4/wish/1330196856 2021-03-19 15:17:59 UTC https://padlet.com/calistaroch/lgef2v22ebobuiy4/wish/1330196856 Colleagues with mental illness might have some challenges while communicating with others, and their understanding of certain things might not be the same as the majority. Therefore, it takes more patience, empathy and understanding form our part to help with whatever we can so that they also feel welcomed, and not left out. calistaroch https://padlet.com/calistaroch/lgef2v22ebobuiy4/wish/1330198767 2021-03-19 15:18:25 UTC https://padlet.com/calistaroch/lgef2v22ebobuiy4/wish/1330198767 I think they would want to be treated equally and to know that they are also capable of doing the same things as others. calistaroch https://padlet.com/calistaroch/lgef2v22ebobuiy4/wish/1330200698 2021-03-19 15:18:50 UTC https://padlet.com/calistaroch/lgef2v22ebobuiy4/wish/1330200698 To be more understanding and to see things from their perspectives calistaroch https://padlet.com/calistaroch/lgef2v22ebobuiy4/wish/1330203237 2021-03-19 15:19:24 UTC https://padlet.com/calistaroch/lgef2v22ebobuiy4/wish/1330203237 It should be different to a certain because their understanding might be different. However, it should not be too different as we don't want them to feel like they are special. Like again, it is impossible to treat everyone the same as every individual is different, however we will need more attention to people with mental illness. calistaroch https://padlet.com/calistaroch/lgef2v22ebobuiy4/wish/1330204515 2021-03-19 15:19:41 UTC https://padlet.com/calistaroch/lgef2v22ebobuiy4/wish/1330204515 We should treat everybody with respect calistaroch https://padlet.com/calistaroch/lgef2v22ebobuiy4/wish/1330205777 2021-03-19 15:19:58 UTC https://padlet.com/calistaroch/lgef2v22ebobuiy4/wish/1330205777 personally feel that people with mental illness requires more sensitivity in terms of actions and words. calistaroch https://padlet.com/calistaroch/lgef2v22ebobuiy4/wish/1330207600 2021-03-19 15:20:20 UTC https://padlet.com/calistaroch/lgef2v22ebobuiy4/wish/1330207600 Need to be more understanding and patient calistaroch https://padlet.com/calistaroch/lgef2v22ebobuiy4/wish/1330208803 2021-03-19 15:20:36 UTC https://padlet.com/calistaroch/lgef2v22ebobuiy4/wish/1330208803 To a certain extent the behaviour will be the same. However to deter the negative thoughts, its best to refrain from negative remarks or actions that will incite those feelings calistaroch https://padlet.com/calistaroch/lgef2v22ebobuiy4/wish/1330209685 2021-03-19 15:20:47 UTC https://padlet.com/calistaroch/lgef2v22ebobuiy4/wish/1330209685 I feel that perhaps more care needs to be put in when interacting with colleagues with mental illness. They might be going through things that I am unable to understand and the way I react might affect them more than others. calistaroch https://padlet.com/calistaroch/lgef2v22ebobuiy4/wish/1330210858 2021-03-19 15:21:00 UTC https://padlet.com/calistaroch/lgef2v22ebobuiy4/wish/1330210858 I feel there is a need to be more mindful of their workload and stress level. calistaroch https://padlet.com/calistaroch/lgef2v22ebobuiy4/wish/1330212141 2021-03-19 15:21:17 UTC https://padlet.com/calistaroch/lgef2v22ebobuiy4/wish/1330212141 different, requires more support calistaroch https://padlet.com/calistaroch/lgef2v22ebobuiy4/wish/1330213175 2021-03-19 15:21:30 UTC https://padlet.com/calistaroch/lgef2v22ebobuiy4/wish/1330213175 Probably the same kind of attitude as if a vegetarian friend were among us, and we were asked if our choice of food places would differ. It would differ, so that all of us are able to enjoy the meal better. calistaroch https://padlet.com/calistaroch/lgef2v22ebobuiy4/wish/1330214197 2021-03-19 15:21:44 UTC https://padlet.com/calistaroch/lgef2v22ebobuiy4/wish/1330214197 Colleague with mental illness normally can't handle stress so give them more time to adapt calistaroch https://padlet.com/calistaroch/lgef2v22ebobuiy4/wish/1330215004 2021-03-19 15:21:53 UTC https://padlet.com/calistaroch/lgef2v22ebobuiy4/wish/1330215004
