Brief Summary:
Individual placement support (IPS) is an evidence-based supported employment model for people with severe mental illness, designed to achieve employment in mainstream competitive jobs, either part-time or full-time. The aim of this study is to assess the (i) effectiveness of embedding the (IPS)/Peer Support intervention as part of the primary care centre in securing employment of adults living in the downtown eastside in comparison to the usual treatment WorkBC (control group). (ii) effectiveness of IPS/Peer Support versus the usual treatment (WorkBC) in improving mental illness, quality of life and personal recovery through participation in employment.
Detailed Description:
This 18-month mixed methods study consists of an effectiveness multi-site randomized controlled trial of the IPS/peer support intervention plus an embedded qualitative exploration of participants' experiences. All clients receiving primary care services from one DTES clinical site who are employment ready and are not receiving mental health services will be randomly assigned to IPS \& Peer Support (experimental group) or WorkBC (control group). Clients are required to participate in the intervention for 16 weeks and will be assessed at baseline, 1-, 3-, and 6-months post study intervention start-date for both groups. Assessments will include the 5 questionnaires administered at baseline which cover the following: Employment Quality, Employment Sustainability, Education Quality and Quantity, Quality of Life, Community Engagement and Clinical significant levels of depression and anxiety.
