Abstract
Transition-age youth (TAY, ages 14-26) diagnosed with serious mental health conditions are at high risk for vocational struggles. This paper examines the implementation and process evaluation of Individual Placement and Support (IPS) and Supported Employment enhanced to better meet developmental needs of TAY. Enhancements include the integration of a TAY development focus, engagement best-practices, Supported Education and Peer Support. Community mental health providers participated in a process evaluation to explore the feasibility of a larger scale implementation. Common organizational barriers were encountered across provider sites including: leadership support, agency structures and funding mechanisms; compounded by the complexity of bridging child and adult systems. Findings have implications for both child and adult community mental health providers as they adapt and integrate programming for TAY.Entities:
