S2: Migraine in the Workplace

Many people living with migraine feel the need to hide it while at work because they fear stigma or, worse, think they may lose their job if their employer knew. Dr. Larry Newman and Dr. Robert Shapiro discuss how those with migraine can advocate for workplace accommodations and why it could actually benefit employers to address migraine head-on. Listen to learn more about your options at work.

Our podcast host Dr. Larry Newman is Vice Chair of the American Migraine Foundation and a neurologist at NYU Langone. Dr. Robert Shapiro is the founding president of the Alliance for Headache Disorders Advocacy and professor of Neurological Science at the University of Vermont. The American Migraine Foundation is proud to partner with AHDA and to support their yearly advocacy event, Headache on the Hill.
