Mental health care providers who have a personal lived experience of mental health challenges are valuable employees who may be vulnerable to workplace bullying, which causes harm both to these individuals and to their organizations. We used snowball sampling to survey 40 mental health professionals with lived experience about their history of workplace bullying and whether or not their lived experience was known ("out") or concealed ("closeted"). We found that our sample experienced workplace bullying at much higher rates than published samples from the general population. More than three-quarters of our sample reported having ever experienced bullying and almost half had been bullied in the past year. Furthermore, most of those who had ever experienced bullying reported having been closeted at the time. Further exploratory analyses identified some specific aspects of bullying that might be fruitful areas for future research. We conclude with implications for employee recruitment and retention, vocational rehabilitation, and organizational development. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).
心理健康服务提供者自身有心理健康挑战方面的生活经历，他们是有价值的员工，但可能容易受到工作场所欺凌，这对个人和组织都造成伤害。我们使用滚雪球抽样调查了 40 名有生活经历的心理健康专业人员，了解他们的工作场所欺凌史，以及他们的生活经历是否被知晓（“公开”）或隐瞒（“隐瞒”）。我们发现，我们的样本经历工作场所欺凌的比例远高于一般人群的公布样本。我们的样本中超过四分之三的人报告说曾经遭受过欺凌，近一半的人在过去一年中受到过欺凌。此外，大多数曾经遭受过欺凌的人报告说当时被隐瞒了。进一步的探索性分析确定了一些欺凌的具体方面，这些方面可能是未来研究的有益领域。我们最后提出了员工招聘和留用、职业康复和组织发展方面的启示。（PsycInfo 数据库记录（c）2022 APA，保留所有权利）。
