Avec la loi de février 2005, l’accompagnement des personnes en situation de handicap a fortement progressé. Toutefois, on observe une augmentation du nombre de reconnaissances du handicap psychique et les employeurs peuvent être parfois démunis (face à ce handicap invisible), dans la gestion de leurs ressources et dans leur organisation de travail.
Le handicap psychique est un handicap évolutif qui apparaît essentiellement au cours de la vie d’adulte. Le cadre professionnel se trouve impacté par l’arrivée ou l’évolution de cette maladie, et le maintien dans l’emploi des personnes concernées s’avère compliqué.
Pour tenter de répondre aux questions et aux besoins des employeurs, l’ARFTLV met en place une Conférence régionale d’échanges de pratiques et de réflexions sur le thème « Emploi et handicap psychique » le lundi 16 novembre 2015 de 9h00 à 16h30 dans les locaux de l’Ecole Supérieure du Professorat et de l’Education (ESPE - Campus universitaire - 5 rue Shirin Ebadi) à Poitiers.
