Ips Beyond Smi

based at the scottish centre for employment research at the university of strathclyde, this research project will investigate the impact of employment interventions normally used to support those with severe mental health conditions on wider population groups. the two-year project funded by the national institute for health and care research will provide new scholarly and applied understandings as well as practical policy guidance and resources in response to the opportunities and challenges of offering individual placement and support (ips) and supported employment (se) with population groups beyond those with severe mental health conditions. ips and se are structured evidence-based policy interventions that help individuals find and maintain paid employment, bringing significant benefits to individuals and society. they are voluntary, intensive, integrated into clinical teams, tailored to the individual’s work preferences and built around adherence to a strict fidelity scale. ther
