Supported Education for Persons with Psychiatric Disabilities

Supported education may be defined as the provision of support and services to help persons with psychiatric disabilities gain access to and succeed in a postsecondary college or technical school. Since recovery-oriented services are those that support individuals in reclaiming their lives in the community and overcoming the effects of being perceived as mental patients (Tondora & Davidson, 2006), supported education can be one of the most important tools for recovery. It allows individuals to trade the identity of mental patient for that of student and may lead to job and career advancement.
