Some resources (with links) discussed throughout the training were:
- The Job Accommodation Network (https://askjan.org/index.cfm)
- The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline Contact and Resources (https://www.samhsa.gov/find-help/988)
- The video “Living with Serious Mental Illness” (https://smiadviser.org/knowledge_post_fp/living-with-serious-mental-illness-video)
- The video “Sometimes I’m schizoaffective/All of the time I’m human” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3_hny4GFlY).
We also wanted to share a template for a Safety Plan: Safety Plan | SAMHSA, and Suicide Prevention resources: Suicide Prevention – National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) (nih.gov).
A great question was asked during the training: What is the difference between a diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder and a dual diagnosis of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder? A great resource to hopefully help with answering this question is found here: Bipolar Disorder vs Schizoaffective Disorder: What’s the Difference? (msn.com).
