abstract: 'Objectives The aim of this article is to present an overview of the
reflections led by various European and international organizations on
the employment of people with mental disorders.
Methods This study is based on data from websites of international
organizations and interviews taken place with a disability specialist at
the International Labour Organisation (ILO) and members of the European
Commission.
Results Unlike the French law of 11 February 2005 which refers expressly
to psychic disability, this notion is not explicitly dedicated by
various European and international legal rules. However, these standards
like the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with
Disabilities have adopted the contemporary model which presents
disability as the result of an interaction between person and
environment. Thus they acknowledge that disabled people include people
suffering from mental disorders because in the person''s environment, a
psychiatric impairment could lead to limitations of activities or
restrictions of social participation that constitute a situation of
disability of psychiatric origin. Therefore, the legal mechanisms often
do not provide appropriate answers to the characteristics of psychiatric
disability.
Besides, negative attitudes, stereotypes and discrimination towards
people with a psychiatric disability are still observed in the
workplace, in spite of intensified anti-discrimination legislation.
This study inventories the different proposals to remedy to substantial
barriers to the employment of people with a psychiatric condition. In
the European Union''s strategy for increasing the employment of these
persons, particular consideration is given to put forward a series of
key recommendations to improve practices of reasonable accommodation in
the workplace. Nonetheless, it must be emphasized that it is necessary
to conceive adequate measures in order to take into account the
changeability and the unpredictability of mental disorders. Indeed,
situations of psychiatric disability require flexibility and reactivity
more than any other situation of disability. The discrimination
experienced by people with a psychiatric disability is likely to
continue as long as specific responses are not implemented. In this
perspective, ILO highlights a number of best practices addressing the
challenges of psychiatric disabled people''s employment. That is why a
disability network was created to share knowledge. The great added value
of this network is the opportunity to share best practices between
companies, best practices between countries in order to increase the
ability to include people with mental disorders. Focus is put on
strategies to combat discrimination in employment, by raising awareness,
exploring measures and good practices to improve mental health in the
workplace.
Conclusion Finally, this study shows similar challenges in the
prevention of the mental health and the issue of the psychiatric
handicap, including to remedy to the insufficient attention paid to
provide reasonable accommodation to persons with mental disorders.'
