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.
This workshop was so valuable. It reaffirmed the importance of employment support for people who experience mental health concerns. The activities really got me thinking outside the box.

The process is person-centred. You’re treated like a person, not a number.

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.

It was valuable getting an overview of the IPS approach. I understood each point and was provided great examples.
