Positive Evaluation of the IPS model for the employment of people with mental health difficulties in Ireland
22/02/2018
Mental Health Reform report on a large scale pilot of the IPS (Individual Placement and Support) model for employing people with enduring mental health difficulties that took place between 2015 and 2017. This model provides targeted employment support to clients to prepare them for and to support them in paid employment.
Results from the project were positive, with 33 out of 95 people obtaining at least some paid employment during the 2 year period of the project.
These and other findings form the project evaluation show that meaningful paid employment is possible even for people who have not worked for many years once appropriate supports are provided.
