Question

For a client with significant psychiatric disability seeking competitive work, which evidence-based employment idea should guide practice?

Accepted Answer

Emphasize rapid job search in integrated settings with ongoing supports (supported employment). — Old-school "train forever, work never" lost the evidence race.

Require years of unpaid prevocational workshops before any community job search.

Answer

Limit placement only to segregated workshops as the default end goal.

Postpone job search until all symptoms are permanently absent.
