Werken met IPS werkt. De essentie? Volg acht principes.
The eight Practice Principles of IPS Supported Employment
1 Focus on Competitive Employment
Agencies providing IPS services are committed to competitive employment as an attainable goal for people with behavioral health conditions seeking employment. Mainstream education and specialized training may enhance career paths.
2 Eligibility Based on Client Choice
People are not excluded on the basis of readiness, diagnoses,
symptoms, substance use history, psychiatric hospitalizations, homelessness, level of disability, or legal system involvement.
3 Integration of Rehabilitation and Mental Health Services
IPS programs are closely integrated with mental health treatment teams.
4 Attention to Worker Preferences
Services are based on each person’s preferences and choices, rather than providers’ judgments.
5 Personalized Benefits Counseling
Employment specialists help people obtain personalized, understandable, and accurate information about their Social Security, Medicaid, and other government entitlements.
6 Rapid Job Search
IPS programs use a rapid job search approach to help job seekers obtain jobs directly, rather than providing lengthy pre-employment assessment, training, and counseling. If further education is part of their plan, IPS specialists assist in these activities as needed.
7 Systematic Job Development
Employment specialists systematically visit employers, who are selected based on job seeker preferences, to learn about their business needs and hiring preferences.
8 Time-Unlimited and Individualized Support
Job supports are individualized and continue for as long as each worker wants and needs the support.
