Description
Francisco Rodriguez Pulido and co-authors test a supported employment model for people with severe mental disorders, in work published in 2025. The model, called Individual Placement and Support, helps people find regular competitive jobs quickly, with support that continues on the job. The trial ran in a region with high unemployment, a hard test for the model.
Of 557 people screened, 63 joined and were split by chance between the model and standard vocational training. After six months, the supported group reached competitive jobs at higher rates and improved more in overall functioning. Other health outcomes did not differ clearly between groups. People who gained jobs in either group reported better quality of life. No serious adverse events occurred. The authors judge the model feasible even in a tough job market.
