چکیده
Employment is a key to community reintegration for both people with mental illness and those with justice involvement. At present, the empirical literature on employment services for justice-involved people with or without mental illness is meager. By contrast, an extensive evidence base documents the effectiveness of a specific employment model for people with severe mental illness: the Individual Placement and Support (IPS) model of supported employment. This brief (1) describes the IPS model and its evidence base, (2) identifies current trends in IPS services for justice-involved people, (3) summarizes studies of employment services for justiceinvolved people, and (4) suggests IPS adaptations for justice-involved people with mental illness.
