IPS-Supported Employment (IPS-SE)
Individual Placement and Support-Supported Employment (IPS-SE) is a person-centered, behavioral health service with a focus on employment, that provides assistance in choosing, acquiring, and maintaining competitive paid employment in the community for individuals 18 years and older for whom employment has not been achieved or employment has been interrupted or intermittent. This service is co-located with an agency’s behavioral health treatment services to ensure consistent behavioral health integration. In the event that a provider of IPS-SE does not also provide behavioral health services, the provider must partner with one or two behavioral health agencies with a signed MOU/MOA. The target populations for this model are individuals with serious to severe and persistent mental illness (SPMI), and co-occurring disorders. This service is provided by Employment Support Professionals (ESPs) and Employment Peer Mentors (EPMs) who are trained in national research standards that support the vocational needs of individuals and promote community connections and employment success.
The foundation for this service definition is the Individual Placement and Support (IPS) evidence-based Supported Employment model and SE Fidelity Scale developed by the Dartmouth Psychiatric Research Center and promoted by SAMHSA1. Additional approaches (including Customized Employment, Self-Employment and Business-Led Internships) may be used under the umbrella of IPS-SE to assist individuals in securing competitive employment in the community that fits their particular needs, interests, and skills while enabling workplace success.
