A new three years EU project coordinated by Fondazione IRCCS Istituto Neurologico Carlo Besta, Dr Matilde Leonardi, in partnership with 12 Partners from 10 European Countries, is going to have its kick off meeting on 21st May in Luxembourg.
Persons with chronic diseases often encounter work-related problems, such as unemployment, absenteeism, reduced productivity, and stigmatization in the workplace. The rising prevalence of chronic diseases and the current period of economic crisis make these problems even more serious
The question why people with chronic diseases experience difficulties is crucial to plan strategies and interventions to increase their participation in the labour force.
This question was addressed in studies showing that employment problems among chronically ill persons are not only impairment-related, but also connected to socio-demographic and psychological factors, attitudes and beliefs, disclosure, job demands, organizational factors and macro-economic factors.
In response to these issues, that have negative consequences at individual, national and European levels, PATHWAYS project aims to
- identify existing integration and re-integration strategies in the workplace
- determine their effectiveness
- assess the employment-related needs of persons with chronic diseases and mental disorders, so to identify gaps in services tailored to them
- develop policy recommendations to improve European strategies for integration and reintegration into the workplace.

I have tried today (Aug. 6) to send an email to Matilde Leonardi, but keeps getting a “delivery failure”.
Is there another address I can use?
Or is Matilde’s mailbox temporarily out of function?
Thanks for any help 🙂
Regards,
Soren
