In Part 1 of our interview, Mary O'Hagan made the point that madness should be respected. But how? This comment in itself stretches some of the common (mis-) understandings on mental illness, or ‘Madness' as Mary likes to call it. In part 2 of our interview, Mary makes the following fascinating points:
Madness doesn't turn you into a saint
How having a mental illness can shape you
Bringing mental illness into the workplace benefits your customers
How to talk to someone with a mental illness
Flexible supports are not specific to people with mental illness at work
Some accommodations important to people with a mental illness
What do you think? Is there a place for madness at work?
