Rehab Rounds: Implementing Supported Employment Services in a Real-World Setting

Introduction by the column editors: Supported employment is an evidence-based practice for people with serious mental illness (1). Among supported employment services, individual placement and support is a model whose efficacy has been convincingly demonstrated (2,3,4,5). To facilitate the transition from research to clinical practice, it is critical to understand how individual programs unfold in community mental health settings without the involvement of the academic creators of the model: Can the program withstand the challenges encountered by real-world exigencies and still deliver the outcomes achieved in more controlled research? In this month's column, Dr. Handler and his colleagues describe the development of an individual placement and support program in Massachusetts, with particular emphasis on overcoming obstacles to implementation. They demonstrate that the path from research to practice can be traversed successfully with careful planning and foresight.
