Employment promotes recovery for persons with mental illness and substance use disorders by providing extra income and a valued social role. Studies have examined non-vocational outcomes in relation to steady employment among people with mental illness and co-occurring substance use disorders. People who work tend to achieve independent housing and a higher quality of life, especially in the first five years. People with co-occurring disorders can improve markedly.

This one-day workshop will identify components of employment services and best practices that will help foster a culture of work across an array of housing settings. Organizational facilitators and barriers will be explored in small and large group exercises. Participants will finish the day by developing a work plan to develop and/or enhance a culture of work in their particular organizations. Examples of housing settings include the following:

• PSH/Permanent Supportive & Independent Housing
• Transitional Housing
• Residential
• Adult Care Facilities
• Emergency Shelters
• YMCA & YWCA Housing
• Community CPST
• Recovery Houses
