Supported Employment

About This Series

This course provides the learner with the foundational knowledge needed to understand the evidence-based practice of Supported Employment (SE) and begin or enhance its implementation. Supported Employment focuses on the attainment and maintenance of vocational goals and has been shown to enhance recovery outcomes. SE is grounded in the belief that everyone has the right to participate in competitive, integrated employment based on their interests, skills, aptitudes and ideal work culture.

Recovery from a mental health condition is a deeply personal, multifaceted, and highly individualized process. A person’s recovery journey can be significantly influenced, either positively or negatively, by the practitioner as well as the services the practitioner offers.
