slíkum vinnumarkaði tækifæri til að leggja
sitt af mörkum eftir bestu getu.
Auka þarf vitund almennings um það mikil-
væga framlag sem einstaklingar með skerta
starfsgetu koma með inn á vinnumarkaðinn
til þess að stuðla að vinnuumhverfi sem
tekur vel á móti þeim. Umfjöllun um jákvæða
reynslu af störfum einstaklinga með skerta
starfsgetu og dæmi um góðar starfsvenjur
geta hjálpað til við að draga úr hræðslu
og fordómum, meðal bæði vinnuveitenda
og samstarfsmanna, og getur þannig leitt
til aukinnar atvinnuþátttöku einstaklinga
með skerta starfsgetu. Samfélagið hefur
þannig þörf fyrir vinnustaði með aukið
umburðarlyndi gagnvart einstaklingum
með geðræn vandamál og önnur krónísk
heilbrigðisvandamál. Þessar aðstæður er
mikilvægt að skapa einmitt núna þegar
vinnuaðstæður eru aðrar en áður var og
sjúkdómar sem skerða vinnugetu hafa
aukist sem og veikindafjarvera vegna geð-
rænna sjúkdóma6.
