If you experience mental health issues, you’re likely to be in contact with the health care system. Learn your legal rights in relation to your health, from @PLSBC buff.ly/3XC5WkW #MentalHealth

Have you ever scoffed at a colleague who needs a flexible work schedule, or assumed that if you can’t see a disability, it doesn't exist? These are examples of ableism. Let’s #RewriteTheRules. Learn more at bchumanrights.ca/rewrite-the…

Let's #RewriteTheRules in the workplace
