In the U.S., 10 million young adults aged 18 to 25 report a mental health condition, of which 3 million are classified as serious mental illness. Many are unemployed and at risk of long-term negative outcomes, including long periods of unemployment, reduced lifetime earnings, poverty, lifelong dependency on disability benefits, and poor psychological health. This webinar will discuss the role of work in mental health treatment of young adults. Next, we examine the potential of an evidence-based supported employment, known as Individual Placement and Support (IPS), to help young adults with mental health conditions gain and keep jobs, describing a fidelity scale used to monitor quality of IPS services for this population. Finally, we will describe young adult subgroups for which IPS has been implemented and review the research on the effectiveness of IPS for this age group.
