Abstract :
[en] People with mental and psychiatric disabilities are globally and historically the most neglected and overlooked group in the matter of experienced social exclusion and discrimination at the labour market. The European Pillar on social rights, recently launched by the European Commission, underlines the importance of equal opportunities and access to the labour market for everyone. In regard to this, fair working conditions and active support to employment should also be provided for people with psychiatric disabilities. Employment for people with psychiatric problems still remains a problematic issue, reaching an unemployment rate of about 90% among the most vulnerable groups with the chronical condition such as psychosis. Insufficient stress resilience, pre-existing scarring effects, socioeconomic vulnerability coupled to constrained mental health literacy among employers are some of the main barriers that people with psychiatric disabilities may face as they move towards and into their work. In addition, the fluctuating mental state of a person linked to specificity and heterogeneous evolutions of mental illness has led to rethinking classical models of support, challenging new concepts used until now for physical or sensory disabilities. Initially created to welcome people out of psychiatry, emerging from the acute phase of the illness towards the resocialisation and professional adjustment, sheltered workshop for persons with psychiatric disabilities nowadays promotes new environment, such as supported & therapeutic, i.e. proximity-orientated and individually adapted to the abilities of the person. In order to enhance inclusion by sustainable employment, services have to be proactive, provide gateways to employment, foster psychosocial recovery of the people during their stay and assist them in managing their mental health problems after their placement. Our presentation stresses the Luxembourgish ATP-Model which offers an individual service for people with psychiatric problems; to cope with labour market related challenges and in-situ job coaching perspectives. However, this requires rethinking the traditional assignment of social work.
