Description:	Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the U.S., affecting 40 million adults age 18 or older or 18.1% of the population every year (Anxiety and Depression Assn. of America). 7.8% of Americans will experience PTSD in their lives and about 30% of men and women spending time in war zones experience PTSD (Nebraska Department of Veterans Affairs). Some 12.5 million working days were lost due to work-related stress, depression or anxiety in 2016/17 (Health and Safety Executive) and 50% of employees in one survey said that stress and anxiety impacts the quality of their work (Anxiety and Depression Assn. of America). Given such data, it is not a surprise that employers large and small, for-profit and not-for-profit are now frequently confronted with issues, accommodation requests and claims under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) relating to workplace stress, anxiety disorders, PTSD and related conditions. Grappling with such issues can be difficult and costly. Employers must be able to assess whether applicants and employees with such conditions are qualified to perform the essential functions of a position. They need to know how properly to respond to requests for reasonable accommodations, when and what medical information may be requested, and when a direct threat or other safety risk may be presented. These issues and more will be addressed in our material.Accommodating Anxiety, Workplace Stress and PTSD Under the ADA The Prevalence of Anxiety, Stress and PTSD Issues Confronting Employers The Costs and Risks to Employers From Employees Presenting With Anxiety, Stress and PTSD EEOC Disability Charge and Litigation Activity When Are Anxiety, Workplace Stress and PTSD Protected Under the ADA?

About Webcasts / Audio Conferences / Podcasts:	Webcasts, audio conferences, and podcasts are presentations that you attend via the Internet, phone, or mobile device at a specified date and time for "live" versions, or at your convenience for "recorded" and "On-Demand" versions. The live versions are interactive, meaning that participants can ask questions in real time, plus are a very cost-effective form of training because 1) you receive fast, convenient learning without any out-of-office time; 2) you can invite as many colleagues as you'd like to listen in on a single phone line; 3) you incur no travel expenses; and 4) you and your colleagues are back at work immediately after the session ends! And though with recorded versions you do lose the ability to ask questions, you gain the ability to hear the presentation numerous times and to share it with others in your office. Handout materials and the phone number for live presentations are made available to you prior to the event via email from the presenter and from the "MyAccount" link on the menu bar. Copies of the presentations are included with recorded versions.
