Video Summary
Dr. Amy Cohen, a clinical psychologist and director of SMI Advisor, introduces the SMI Advisor webinar titled "Enhancing Individual Placement and Support: Supported Employment for Transition-Age Youth, the Career and Occupational Readiness Experience." SMI Advisor is an initiative aimed at helping clinicians implement evidence-based care for those with serious mental illness. The webinar has been designated for continuing education credits for physicians, psychologists, and social workers. The slides from the presentation are available for download, and participants are encouraged to submit questions throughout the webinar. The faculty for the webinar includes Dr. Vanessa Borges-Klodnick and Ms. Rebecca Johnson, who will discuss the unique career development needs of adolescents and young adults with serious mental health diagnoses. They will also introduce the Career Opportunity Readiness Experience (CORE) , a 15-week intervention designed to support young people in obtaining and maintaining competitive employment. CORE aims to enhance the principles of IPS-supported employment by providing intensive job training, peer support, and real-life experience through paid internships. The webinar highlights the key philosophies and practices of CORE, as well as preliminary outcomes and next steps for the program. Dr. Klodnick stresses the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and the integration of vocational services in community mental health care. They have developed tools and resources, including an operations manual and best practice guides, to support the implementation of CORE and share their findings with the wider community. The webinar concludes with a call to continue studying and replicating the program to further support the vocational needs of young people with serious mental illness.
