Co-Workers & Courtship; Navigating Relationships, Sexuality, and Boundaries at Work Part II

“Seeing how someone’s life can be affected if they make an inappropriate choice and how it trickles down to affect an employers view on people with disabilities and hiring them in the future - that was a key takeaway.”
