Supported Employment

Employment is a primary goal of most people with serious mental illness. "Work is the most direct step to recovery, and Individual Placement and Support (IPS)-also called supported employment- is the only evidenced-based practice for helping people get work." The President's New Freedon Commission Report (2003)
