Abstract

Evidence-Based Supported Employment (EBSE) significantly increases employment rates for individuals with severe mental illness; however, 40%-60% of EBSE participants fail to secure employment. Possibly, EBSE provides effective services for individuals determined to locate employment; however, it lacks components to intervene with individuals demonstrating ambivalence about finding and continuing work after they start EBSE. In order to address employment ambivalence, we recommend practitioners utilize one service package that includes EBSE and Motivational Interviewing (MI), referred to as EBSE/MI in this paper. We offer nine user-friendly tools incorporating EBSE/MI for professionals engaged in employment services for individuals with severe mental illness. The goal of our paper is to provide strategies for practitioners to assist individuals with ambivalence about working to either obtain or sustain jobs.
