Ms Kate Mitchell:

It is still an issue. In that context, it is very important that people are supported through that process in employment, and that people with mental health difficulties are supported in acknowledging the experience they bring and their own experience brings, and supported in terms of issues around disclosure with their employers and colleagues. Those supports need to be put in place for individuals, not just in the area of employment but in terms of housing and engaging with local authorities, schools and a whole range of sectors.

Until those supports are adequately in place, we will continue to have those issues.
