Melanie Gibson

Author

I wanted to see if you would be interested in speaking with author Melanie Gibson about how to talk to your boss about mental health issues. For many years, she faked fine in the workplace, while she was dealing with mental illness.

Melanie is the author of the new memoir, Kicking and Screaming: A Memoir of Madness and Martial Arts. She also works in the HR field as a Learning and Leadership Development Consultant, and for many years she hid her mental illness from people at work.

Then, she decided that it was better to let people know, so they could be more supportive. If you are interested in speaking with her, below are some of the topics she can touch on:

How to share mental illness with your boss and coworkers
