Appropriate job re-entering (Danish abbreviation: VAP) was a project initiated by the country of Vejle in Denmark and part-funded by the European Social Fund (ESF). It aimed to qualify people with a psychiatric diagnosis on a personal, social and professional level to re-enter the job market following one or more periods of hospitalisation and medical care. VAP has now been succeeded by a similar project, called the Freno Group, starting this year. Explains how the project has demonstrated that people with a diagnosis of mental illness are able to do work which demands a high level of competence.
