Supported Employment Program

“Employment Works”

Supported Employment (SE) is an evidence-based practice that helps people with mental illness and other disabilities identify and acquire part-time or full-time jobs of their choice in the community with rapid job-search and placement services. It emphasizes that work is not the result of treatment and recovery but key to both.

Supported Employment Eligibility

Adults and adolescents age 16 years and over with a mental health diagnosis. Recipients must have Medicaid and or qualify for Medicaid. We Are One Family Health Services’ Supported Employment Program is driven by the Individual Placement and Support (IPS) model. The IPS model is an evidence-based practice of supported employment for people living with mental illness that prioritizes rapid job search, focuses on client preferences, and competitive employment. The IPS model embodies a belief system that people living with mental health concerns can and should work.
