Having a paid job can really help to improve your health and overall wellbeing. Individual Placement and Support (IPS) is a proven employment support approach that helps people find and keep jobs, while also receiving mental health treatment and support.
Why is IPS so effective?
Designed to break down barriers and revolutionise the way we connect people with work, IPS employment support is a proven methodology that prioritises a person’s unique goals, aspirations, and abilities alongside mental health support.
Great and useful information that can be used in any workplace. As a new employment consultant, this was fantastic!

It’s about finding out what that person's strengths are and reminding them what they’re good at. Because, they’ve been reminded so much what they [fail] at…. And just instilling that faith in them again to believe in themselves.

My employment consultant would meet me at the same location as my mental health team to help make the process easier.

In following people for 30 years in dozens of research studies, it’s totally clear to me that there’s nothing that helps people to recover in the same way that supported employment does.
