Members,
 
Myth: People with mental health needs tend to be second-rate workers on the job despite receiving effective treatment and recovering.

Fact: Employers who have hired people with mental illnesses report good attendance and punctuality. Quality of work, motivation and job tenure are on par with or greater than other employees. Studies by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI) show no differences in productivity when people with mental illnesses are compared to other employees.
