随着当今工作场所努力营造包容残疾人的氛围，雇主在制定实现这一理想的程序方面仍有许多工作要做。虽然鼓励精神疾病幸存者向其雇主披露相关问题，但这种个人信息的分享仍然令人生畏。同样，试图协助这一进程的雇主往往对帮助有精神健康问题的雇员重返工作岗位所涉及的合作程度以及对遵守人权立法的关切感到敬畏。就工作方法本身而言，所需的调整往往很简单;但要证明调整的必要性则更为复杂。本案例研究介绍了一个模型，以支持发展的共同目标和共同的理解返回工作（RTW）之间的工人与心理健康问题，雇主，同事和治疗师。职业能力模型被用作指导对话、确定挑战和制定解决方案的基础，这些解决方案考虑到工人在特定工作场所环境中与职业要求有关的偏好、敏感性、文化和能力。一个案例研究是用来证明该模型的潜在效用，协助利益相关者加强合作和伙伴关系，以实现工人和工作场所的需求的共同理解。
As today's workplaces strive toward a climate of inclusiveness for persons with disabilities, much work remains for employers in developing a process to achieve this ideal. While survivors of mental illness are encouraged to disclose related concerns to their employer, such sharing of personal information remains daunting. Similarly, employers attempting to assist the process are often awed by the extent of collaborations involved in integrating employees with mental health issues back to work as well as concern about compliance with human rights legislation. Needed accommodations in terms of approach to the work itself are often simple; however substantiating the need for adjustments is more complex. This case study introduces a model to support the development of shared goals and shared understandings for return to work (RTW) among workers with mental health concerns, employers, co-workers and therapists. The model of occupational competence is used as a basis to guide dialogue, identify challenges and generate solutions that take into consideration a worker's preferences, sensitivities, culture and capacities in relationship to the occupational demands in a given workplace environment. A case study is used to demonstrate the potential utility of the model in assisting stakeholders to strengthen collaborations and partnering to achieve a shared understanding of worker and workplace needs.
