Supported Employment
Mississippi
~~“DMH believes that work plays a critical role in improving quality of life and mental health outcomes of the people we serve as part of their recovery journey. In January 2015, DMH provided funding to develop four pilot sites to offer Supported Employment to 75 individuals with mental illness. The sites are located in Community Mental Health Center Regions 2, 7, 10 and 12. Supported employment, an evidenced-based way to help people diagnosed with mental illnesses secure and keep employment, begins with the idea that every person with a serious mental illness is capable of working competitively in the community. In F Y18, the DMH Supported Employment Pilot Prog ram assisted 257 individuals on their road to recovery by helping them to become employed in the openly competitive job market.”
