Creating effective employment solutions for youth with psychosis

患有严重精神疾病的年轻人普遍难以找到有报酬的工作，特别难以找到满足其健康需要的工作。如果没有早期干预，也没有获得辅助就业、保健和康复服务的机会，这些澳大利亚年轻人将面临长期的福利依赖。该项目将确定为患有精神病的年轻人提供支助性就业的主要国际模式，并研究为什么这种有效和综合的支助模式没有在国内实施。然后，该项目将制定详细的政策和供资框架，以促进澳大利亚采用或调整国际最佳做法。

Young people with severe mental illness face the general difficulty of finding paid work, and the specific difficulty of finding employment which can accommodate their health needs. Without early intervention, and access to supported employment, health and rehabilitation services, these young Australians face long-term welfare dependency. This Project will identify leading international models that provide supported employment for young people with psychosis and examine why such effective and integrated support models have not been implemented domestically. The Project will then develop a detailed policy and funding framework to facilitate the adoption or adaptation of international best practice in Australia.
