Presentation:
While many people with mental health challenges have employment as one of their recovery related goals, not all people have access to Individual Placement and Supports (IPS) or Supported Employment services. This workshop will provide information, ideas, strategies and lessons learned regarding helping people to achieve their employment related goals when access to IPS is not an option for the providers or the people in services.
Objectives:
- Identify the principles of successful IPS services
- Describe how to play a critical role in helping people with employment goals even without IPS services based on the principles of IPS
- Describe basic strategies and skills to enhance employment success when a referral to IPS is not possible
