- CDE's “Mental Health at Work: What Can I Do” Campaign: This Campaign for Disability Employment (CDE) public education campaign explores the roles we ALL play in promoting workplace well-being—from organizational leaders and coworkers to people with mental health conditions themselves. The centerpiece of the campaign is a public service announcement (PSA) that features four cast members—a CEO, a manager, a coworker, and a person who identifies as having a mental health condition—discussing the role they play in supporting a mental health-friendly workplace. Watch the PSA and find resources and campaign materials including a workplace guide and posters on the CDE's website. The CDE also published a guest blog by Andy Imparato, former Executive Director of the Association of University Centers on Disabilities (AUCD) in which he reflects on his experiences working with a mental health condition.
