Employment Strategies for People with Psychiatric Disabilities
While basic job development strategies apply to any person with a disability, some specific issues should be considered when working with people with psychiatric disabilities. Topics include presenting job seekers to employers, comparison of various employment models, evidence-based practices, disclosure, and dealing with substance abuse or criminal histories.
On completion of this training, participants will learn to:
• Identify best-practice employment placement and support strategies
• Assist job seekers with decisions around disclosing psychiatric disability, substance abuse, or criminal history
• Implement strategies to address challenging behaviors and co-occurring substance use disorders
