[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 639669, member: 14557"] I understand your worry GM. Those kind of work schedules are not good or healthy to even healthy person and your daughter was very recently hospitalised for a week for mental health issues. I'm not sure if you mentioned, or if she was at all, diagnosed for something or given medications. However in almost any mental health issue the first step of good self care and managing the issue is regular sleep and lifestyle and managing stress. Irregular work, and especially double shifts (that are a significant health risk even for healthy) more often than very rarely are recipe for catastrophe if you have certain illnesses (both physical chronic illness and also almost any mental health issue.) I'm sure she doesn't want to share her health history with new employer, and I'm not familiar with your worker safety or equality laws, so giving away any info can mean losing her job, but it would be vital for her to learn to advocate her needs for proper self care of her issues. Maybe better not to mentioned exact nature of health issues but asking for not be placed to double shifts because of the health issues and need to manage them with lifestyle choices. And if the employer is not willing to accommodate it, start to look for other job with more regular hours. [/QUOTE]
