Creating effective employment solutions for youth with psychosis

患有严重精神疾病的年轻人面临着找到带薪工作的普遍困难，以及找到能够满足其健康需要的工作的具体困难。如果没有早期干预，没有获得就业、健康和康复服务的支持，这些年轻的澳大利亚人将面临长期的福利依赖。该项目将确定为精神病青年提供支助就业的国际领先模式，并审查为什么这种有效和综合的支助模式没有在国内实施。然后，该项目将制定一项详细的政策和筹资框架，以促进在澳大利亚采用或改编国际最佳做法。

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.
