Work is a preeminent goal for persons with mental illness. Although supported employment (SE) services help some in this population acquire jobs, many remain unemployed. Among individuals with mental illness who obtain employment, job tenure is limited. In an effort to explain poor work outcomes, the literature identifies barriers that SE services do not routinely address, such as low work-related self-efficacy, ambivalence toward work, low motivation, neurocognitive deficits, and impairments in metacognition. Consequently, the development of adjunctive interventions that effectively reduce these barriers and improve employment outcomes has been highlighted as an urgent need. Paired with SE services, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a prime candidate to improve employment outcomes among persons with mental illness. Traditionally, CBT has been used to reduce psychiatric symptoms. However, these interventions offer less benefit to functioning in the community, likely because traditional CBT approaches do not specifically target functional improvement as the intended outcome. We sought tofill this gap by developing and examining the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of a CBT intervention to augment SE services targeting community work.Participants were recruited through the SE program at an urban Veterans Affairs medical center in three waves—December 2014, April 2015, and August 2015. The CBT for Work Success Program (CBTw) was adapted from the Indianapolis Vocational Intervention Program (IVIP), a CBT intervention accompanied by a manual and for persons with schizophrenia engaged in temporary, noncompetitive work. An empirically based, iterative, stepwise process was used to adapt IVIP to fit the needs of persons with a range of mental illnesses who are seeking competitive work. The newly adapted intervention, CBTw, was piloted across the three waves of participants; exit interviews elicited feedback on the program. Participant feedback and feedback from group facilitators guided further revision of the intervention protocol, resulting in a finalized CBTw protocol and participant manual. CBTw is tailored to the needs of employed and unemployed persons who have community work goals and includes 12 sessions delivered in a weekly one-hour group format. CBTw
