Hi Neen,
You say that you tis organisation has blocked you from sending them emails? That's awful! Are you still volunteering there?
Disclosing mental health is always tricky. In the past I have felt like I should be honest and tell them, but it has never ended well. I no longer do so.
However I am hopeful that the stigma regarding mental health in the work place will change. I think with 1 in 3 Australians having a mental illness workplaces will have to catch up soon.
Unfortunately none of that helps your situation. Is there anyone in the organisation you can speak to about it? Maybe human resources? I would try to get a response and if none was forthcoming I would probably register a complaint. Just to make it known that you are unhappy with the way they have dealt with your disclosure.
I hope your relocation go well.
Kind thoughts, Jess

Thanks for your reply jess334
No the organisation doesn't have a HR department as they are not for profit and I still have not been informed of who was successful of gaining employment. But have heard on the grapevine, i.e. I dropped in unexpectedly on Tuesday to pick up some stuff who obtained the position and it was the other volunteer. Don't know for certain but think we were both offered the same position in the organisation.
Have spoken to the organisation who organised the volunteering however and they are not impressed either. Have picked myself up, dusted myself off and applied for another more suitable role for next year.
Thanks for your concern.
regards,
Neens

Hi Neens,
That'a really disappointing that they treated you that way. Even not for profits should have procedures in place to advise applicants of the outcome!
I'm glad that you sound a more positive about next year.
Good luck, Jess
