An Evaluation of Career Opportunity Readiness Experience (CORE): An Enhancement to Supported Employment for Transition Age Youth with Serious Mental Health Diagnoses.

Transition-age youth (TAY) diagnosed with serious mental health diagnoses have low employment rates. Supported Employment (SE) is a widely adopted evidence-based approach. However, SE engagement and outcomes are mixed with TAY, who have unique developmental needs.

Implementing Adapted Individual Placement and Support (IPS) Supported Employment for Transition-Age Youth in Texas.

Transition-age youth (TAY, ages 14-26) diagnosed with serious mental health conditions are at high risk for vocational struggles. This paper examines the implementation and process evaluation of Individual Placement and Support (IPS) and Supported Employment enhanced to better meet developmental needs of TAY. Enhancements include the integration of a TAY development focus, engagement best-practices, Supported Education and Peer Support.

Costs of preparing to implement a virtual reality job interview training programme in a community mental health agency: A budget impact analysis.

Rational, Aims And Objectives: Individual Placement and Support (IPS) is an evidence based strategy for facilitating employment among adults with severe mental illness (SMI) where staff may lead mock job interviews to prepare clients for real-world interviews (a method with limited scalability and cost effectiveness). A virtual reality job interview training program (VR-JIT)-delivered via the internet-has demonstrated efficacy for increasing employment among adults with SMI. Now, VR-JIT is being implemented with a community mental health agency (CMHA) and evaluated for its effectiveness within IPS.

Enhancing individual placement and support (IPS) - Supported employment: A Type 1 hybrid design randomized controlled trial to evaluate virtual reality job interview training among adults with severe mental illness.

Individual Placement and Support (IPS) is the evidence-based model of supported employment that increases employment rates in adults with severe mental illness (SMI). Although IPS is largely successful, over 80% of adults with SMI remain unemployed. An enhancement to high fidelity IPS could be an evidence-based job interview training component.
