In 2003, the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI) published a report identifying a number of barriers for individuals trying to recover from mental illness and become gainfully employed, including all EXCEPT which of the following?
a. lack of desire to work by most individuals with mental illness
b. stigma and discrimination against employing individuals with mental illness
c. inadequate health coverage for treatment of mental illness
d. public policies that discourage employing individuals with mental illness
A
The NAMI report (based on an earlier survey) did not identify lack of desire to work as one of the barriers for people who are recovering from mental illness to becoming gainfully employed. NAMI recognized that in reality, most individuals recovering from mental illness want to work and that employment is an important part of their recovery. NAMI is currently lobbying for supported employment for those with serious mental illness.
