This colorful 18" x 24" poster is designed to help organizations inform people who use their services about Supported Employment (SE), the evidence-based practice. The poster translates professional jargon into common, everyday language that is accessible to diverse audiences. It informs viewers that their choices and experiences are an important part of the job-search process and encourages them to ask about SE services.
Display this poster in the waiting room of your building or in your office. Use it as an educational tool to facilitate conversations about SE with consumers, family members, and community stakeholders. A small (mini-poster) version is available as a handout for people to take (click here).

Supported Employment (SE), the evidence-based practice, is designed to help people diagnosed with mental illness find a regular job of their choice in the community. SE is different from traditional vocational rehabilitation approaches. It emphasizes rapid job-search and placement services, among other consumer-centered principles and practices. It does not require pre-employment training or workshops.
SE was created and is studied by researchers Deborah R. Becker, MEd, CRC, and Robert E. Drake, MD, PhD, and their colleagues at the Dartmouth Psychiatric Research Center (PRC) of Dartmouth Medical School. SE is also known as Individual Placement & Support (IPS). More information about SE is available on this website.
