Supported Employment: Focus on the Job Seeker
Many people living with serious mental illness, or SMI, have barriers to employment. Financial instability can lead to many negative outcomes for people with SMI. However, with the right supports, many people with SMI can find and keep satisfying, competitive jobs. By being person-centered and focusing on the job seeker, staff can help people with SMI thrive in the workplace and improve their lives in many areas. The style of supported employment called Individualized Placements and Supports, or IPS is an effective, person-centered method for helping people with SMI successfully enter the workforce.
