One thing that actually helps many people get back to their lives is meaningful employment and work.\u00a0 Work is a positive thing for people living with mental health conditions. Research shows that when people with mental illness work it offers so many benefits in different areas of their lives such as self-esteem, housing stability, financial wellness, hope and their overall quality of life.\u00a0 This podcast highlights the benefits of work for people with serious mental illness, describes the Individual Placement and Support model of supported employment, offers practical tips for supporting employment and gives listener some additional resources about how to learn more.<\/p>\n<p>Supported employment programs help people find work and keep the job of their choice.\u00a0 In the past, we may have believed that work made people\u2019s mental health symptoms get worse, and that people with mental health conditions needed to gradually introduce work, conduct lengthy assessments, and help people practice work skills before actually working using step-wise strategies.\u00a0 This might mean a person would go to groups to talk about work and then go to a so-called \u2018sheltered workshop\u2019 where many service recipients gathered to practice work skills.\u00a0 Supported employment, and the IPS model in particular, demonstrates that a \u201cplace\/train\u201d strategy is the most helpful in getting people with mental illness back to work, meaning that people select a job and then receive training on that real-world job to help them succeed at that job.<\/p>\n<p>Employment Specialists, or mental health staff with specialized experience helping people get back to meaningful work in the real world, can offer tailored support to get people with mental illness back into the workforce.\u00a0 But, there are things that we can all do to help people with mental health conditions get a job. Some practical suggestions include talking to them about work, offer hope and inspiration to get back to work, and support their desire to work.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most powerful quotes on this topic comes from Psychiatric Rehabilitation pioneer Joe Marrone who said\u00a0 \u201cIf you think work is bad for people with mental illness, what about poverty, unemployment, and social isolation?\u201d\u00a0 Join us for a discussion about the importance of work for mental health recovery.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=&#8221;Row &#8211; Special Guest&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Text &#8211; Title Special Guest&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.3&#8243; text_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;Lato|700|||||||&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;50px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;1.4em&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;dark&#8221; header_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;40px&#8221; header_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;30px&#8221; header_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">Special Guest<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=&#8221;#CC4927&#8243; divider_weight=&#8221;5px&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; max_width=&#8221;120px&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;left&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_5,1_5,3_5&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;Row &#8211; Bio&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;|auto|129px|auto||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_team_member name=&#8221;Joni Dolce, MS, CRC&#8221; position=&#8221;Assistant Professor and Employment Consultant&#8221; image_url=&#8221;http:\/\/necmhttc.org\/towardwellness\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2023\/03\/joni-circle.png&#8221; icon_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.3&#8243; header_font=&#8221;Lato|700|||||||&#8221; header_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; header_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;dark&#8221; max_width_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; max_width_phone=&#8221;240px&#8221; max_width_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; header_font_size_tablet=&#8221;16px&#8221; header_font_size_phone=&#8221;&#8221; header_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|tablet&#8221; border_radii_image=&#8221;on|200px|200px|200px|200px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; header_font_size__hover=&#8221;22px&#8221; header_font_size__hover_enabled=&#8221;22px&#8221; header_letter_spacing__hover=&#8221;0px&#8221; header_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=&#8221;0px&#8221; header_line_height__hover=&#8221;1em&#8221; header_line_height__hover_enabled=&#8221;1em&#8221; header_text_shadow_style__hover=&#8221;none&#8221; header_text_shadow_style__hover_enabled=&#8221;none&#8221; header_text_shadow_color__hover=&#8221;rgba(0,0,0,0.4)&#8221; header_text_shadow_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;rgba(0,0,0,0.4)&#8221;][\/et_pb_team_member][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;3_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.3&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;15px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;2em&#8221; link_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; link_text_color=&#8221;#fe4943&#8243; background_layout=&#8221;dark&#8221; min_height=&#8221;271px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||147px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Joni Dolce, M.S., CRC has many years of experience working in behavioral health services, specifically Supported Employment (SE), providing both direct services and SE program management.
