What is Supported Employment?

Supported employment programs afford those with mental illness the opportunity for employment in viable and valid work scenarios with supportive assistance on-site and as needed. These services are tailored to the individual strengths and deficits of each person to facilitate learning and carrying out a chosen job. While the concept of supported employment has been in use for some years, recently it has received increased attention as an integral component of programming to afford better access for those with disabilities to significant and comprehensive work venues.
