Presentation:

The national pandemic in the US has forced mental health services delivery approaches to change rapidly and continuously.  We know a good deal about what works for Supported Employment & Education outside of this national health emergency, however, we do not have research to tell us what works in the current situation for Missouri and nationally.

People whose lives are affected by mental illness are still working, still furthering their educations and still pursuing their economic independence during the presence of COVID-19.  This presentation will provide a forum to learn, explore and share strategies, techniques, and service delivery options as well as supports for Transition Aged Youth who are receiving services related to their employment and / or educational goals.

Objectives:

  1. Identify the evidence-based principles of Supported Employment and Education Services
  2. Identify potential concerns of people in services regarding employment and education during the pandemic
  3. Describe creative engagement strategies for people in services regarding education and employment goals during the pandemic
  4. Identify and describe strategies and interventions as part of SEE services to assist people with education and employment goals during the pandemic
