Question

A client with a disability and prior incarceration faces dual stigma from employers. Which counseling emphasis is most appropriate?

Accepted Answer

Specialize employer education and carefully time disclosure counseling for both disability and justice involvement. — Two stigmas stack like weights on a barbell — you don't pretend they're light. Smart placement educates employers and helps the client decide when and how to disclose. Blanket denial or dumping everything on call one aren't strategies.

Answer

Forbid any employer contact until the client denies both disability and criminal history in every interview.

Answer

Disclose every medical and justice detail on the first cold call without client collaboration.

Answer

Ignore stigma and rely only on mass online applications with no employer education.
