OVERVIEW
This event is the first of a two-part series on Supported Employment / Individual Placement and Support (SE/ IPS), the evidence-based practice. Participants are highly encouraged to attend both. Each person must register for both events, which are listed separately on our event calendar:
- * Clinical Essentials for Supervisors of Supported Employment/ IPS | April 3, 2012
- Administrative Essentials for Supervisors of Supported Employment/ IPS | May 22, 2012 (click here)
This two-day training is intended for supervisors and program leaders of organizations currently utilizing SE/ IPS and others interested in learning about effective implementation (see "Who Should Attend" below).
Note: This event has been renamed. It was formerly known as "Individualized Placement and Support /Evidence Based Supported Employment: Essential Training for Supervisors: Clinical Issues."
Supported Employment/ Individual Placement and Support (SE/ IPS) is a SAMHSA-recognized evidence-based practice for people with severe mental illness and co-occurring severe mental illness and substance use disorders. Research has demonstrated the effectiveness of SE/IPS in helping people with serious mental illness find competitive employment. Competitive jobs are defined as those that pay at least minimum wage, are integrated in the community (i.e., jobs that anyone can apply for), and are not owned by the agency or organization that is providing SE/IPS services. Competitive jobs may be part time or full time. Although most jobs found are 20 hours per week or more, a few individuals prefer to begin with jobs that are very limited in hours. For more information about the SE/IPS model, consult the "practices" section of our website. This page will remain opened (click here).
This event, "Clinical Essentials," is the first in a two-part series (see above). Topics will include the following:
- Integrating vocational services into treatment teams for people with co-occurring severe mental illness and substance use disorders (e.g., Integrated Dual Disorder Treatment (IDDT) services)
- Supervising employment/vocational specialists
- Supervising with an emphasis on job development
- Documenting SE services
This training will include exercises that assist participants with identifying next steps towards implementation or enhancement of SE/IPS within their organizations.
Learning Objectives:
Participants will be able to:
- Describe the structure of integration of vocational services within a mental health agency in an evidence-based Supported Employment/ Individual Placement and Support (SE/IPS) model.
- Discuss tools and resources as they pertain to the service structure and service delivery of evidence-based SE/IPS
- Apply a list of potential clinical next steps their organization could take to begin implementation or more closely approximate evidence-based SE/IPS.
