Navigating the Work Place Or Unemployment

Hey there! 

Navigating the work place can be tricky when you have a chronic illness. Given that MS is an "invisible" illness that makes it even more challenging at times for your co-workers or even your boss to understand, it is extremely important that you are aware of your rights in the work place.  

On the same note, if you are unable to continue working it's imperative that you know all the resources available to you. 

A little while back I had a guest on my podcast, Dr. Phillip Rumrill, who went over all the details! Dr. Rumrill is a nationally certified rehabilitation counselor & the director of research and training at the University of Kentucky human development institute. For many years, He served as the director for Multiple Sclerosis Employment Assistance Service, which provided vocational services & support to people living with MS across the US. Dr. Rumrill has authored and co-authored more than 150 professional journal articles, 40 book chapters, and 6 books.
