Healthy Ways of Managing Stress

Unemployment, which occurs at much higher rates among disabled individuals due to societal stigma and discrimination, causes high stress levels in many people. This, in turn, lowers mental health and overall wellbeing, which affects the hiring process and so on and so forth.
