Individual Placement and Support
Individual Placement and Support (IPS) is a personalized approach aimed at helping people with mental health challenges find and maintain meaningful employment. The model emphasizes real job placements in the community, coupled with ongoing support tailored to the individual's needs. Unlike traditional vocational training, IPS focuses on matching individuals with jobs based on their interests and skills, often before they complete job readiness training. The goal is to help individuals achieve greater independence and improve their overall well-being through work, fostering a sense of purpose and social inclusion in the process.
