Disclosure
What is disclosure?
Disclosing your condition is understandably sensitive and often challenging. However the best first step you can make is to get the help and support you need.
How do I disclose my condition?
If you choose to tell someone about your mental health issues, you can mark it on your UAC application or contact a disability advisor.
Choosing your path
Disclosure of a disability presents a number of challenges and choices for people with a disability, particularly those participating in education and employment. Choices may include ‘Do I need to disclose my disability?’, ‘When do I disclose my disability?’, ‘How do I disclose my disability?’, ‘What are my rights?’, ‘Do I have responsibilities when I disclose?’. Employers and educators may also be challenged in relation to their roles and responsibilities when a person discloses their disability.
It’s a personal choice
'It’s a personal choice' is a website that addresses challenges for people with disabilities, employers and educators. The website provides information about options and pathways that people with disabilities can use in disclosing their disability in post secondary education and employment environments. The website also articulates the roles and responsibilities of employers and educators in relation to disclosure.
