  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Taking it on: Disclosure, Stigmatization, and Self-Esteem Author: Brennan, Eileen M., Malsch, Anna M., Stewart, Lisa Maureen, Rosenzweig, Julie M., Conley, John Year: 2009 Employed parents of children with emotional or behavioral disorders face many potential challenges when striving to find balance between their work and family responsibilities. While responding to the demands of the workplace, they must also attend to the unique caregiving needs of their children such as facilitating on-going treatment, responding to frequent emergencies, and arranging adequate child care (Rosenzweig, Brennan, Huffstutter, & Bradley, in press). These parents often develop strategies to gain the flexibility at work they need in order to care for their child while still maintaining a high level of job performance (Rosenzweig, Brennan, & Ogilvie 2002). Whether parents are successful in achieving this balance often depends on the culture of their workplace, the decisions they make regarding whether and how much to disclose about their child's situation, and the stigmatization they may encounter as a result of this disclosure. In this presentation, we reported the results of six focus groups of employed parents of children with mental health difficulties. This research was conducted as part of a federally funded five-year research project investigating work-life integration for this group of families. Our analysis focused on the parental experiences in the workplace and on the interrelationships between workplace culture, decision-making regarding disclosure, stigmatization, and workplace support.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Building Layers of Support at KPMG LLP: Training Human Resource Professionals for Collaborative Conversations Author: Brennan, Eileen M., Wankoff, Barbara C., Rosenzweig, Julie M. Year: 2011 When an employed parent is raising a child with mental health difficulties, there are times when reaching out for support at the workplace is essential. At crisis points when family members must leave work to arrange for immediate mental health assistance and at times when special child care arrangements break down or when children or young people have difficulty at school or in the community, workplace support can be a life saver. KPMG LLP and Portland State University partnered to develop and test a new training program to prepare human resource (HR) professionals to confidently provide workplace supports for the 9% of employees caring for children with disabilities (Perrin et aI., 2 007). KPMG joined this partnership as part of its commitment to promoting workplace inclusion.
