A working reality: Evaluating enhanced intersectoral links in supported employment for people with psychiatric disabilities

摘要

Background/aim: Supported employment (SE) program-mes have been found to improve the rates of competitive employment for people with severe mental illness. Evidence has suggested that the most effective SE model is one in which the employment specialist is co-located with mental health services. However, this may not always be achievable. The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of the enhanced intersectoral links approach to SE.
