The Evidence Based Practice of Supported Employment
Individual Placement & Support (IPS)
Introduction for State Rehabilitation Council (SRC)
May, 2014

“Nothing that I have studied has the same kind of impact on people that
employment does. Medication, case management, and psychotherapies tend to produce a small impact on people’s overall adjustment. But the differences
are often striking and dramatic with employment”.
-Dr. Robert Drake, VCU Web Course Interview,
Supported Employment for Persons with Severe Mental Illness
Setting the Stage

1. Un-established practices are not based on research
Have no data to support effectiveness
Based on anecdotal evidence and/or professional judgment
Defining Practices: Source: Valaerie L. Mazzotti, Dawn A. Rowe, Renee Cameto, David W. Test and Mary E. Morningstar. Career Development and Transition for Exceptional Individuals 2013 36: 140 originally published online 24 September, 2013

2. Promising practices are based on research
Have demonstrated limited success
Have used a “weak” research design for example: No Randomized Controlled Trials/RCTs

3. Evidence-Based Practices based on rigorous research
designs Efficacy & effectiveness empirically
validatedthrough a body of rigorous research replicated in a wide range of settings by multiple investigators
Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) Have undergone systematic review
process using quality indicators to evaluate level of evidence.

Research-based:Efficacy and effectiveness empirically validatedthrough a body of rigorous research replicated in a wide range of settings by multiple investigators.
Standardized practice guidelines that describe critical ingredients of a well-defined and
“manual-ized” service approach.
Developed by real practitioners
Over Sixteen RCTs and meta analysis all support the same results-Improved Employment Outcomes
25 Item Fidelity Scale to measure implementation
IPS is an Evidence-Based Practice (SAMSHA)
IPS Model (Becker & Drake) researched and disseminated in the early 1990s with a few refinements.
IPS=EBP-SE
Becker & Drake: “A Working Life” (1991)
Findings~> Produces superior employment outcomes when
fidelity to the core practices is maintained. There is no research evidence that anything
“adverse” happens to employed persons with psychiatric disabilities. (Bond, 2001)
IPS research is robust & compelling

11,159 people enrolled 40% of those people worked in a competitive job during the quarter. (Jan-March, 2013) 2013 Average across all quarters = 43% (range 38%-55%)
Transformation to IPS Program (former EE SMI)
State Grant Application
Agencies must be CARF accredited and have PT contracts with VRS. This allows for agencies to use both VRS purchase of service funds for job placement time limited services and State grant fund dollars for extended employment supports (aka long term supports)
In SFY 14 & 15: the historic EE SMI program is transforming to IPS because of changes to the funding language for the program made in M.S. 268A. 13-14 made in 2013 Legislative Session
Historic “EE SMI” projects are transformed to IPS.
2013 Minnesota legislature (Minnesota Session Laws of 2013, Chapter 85, HF 729 for “d) grants to programs that provide employment support services to persons with mental illness under Minnesota Statutes, sections 268A.13 and 268A.14.”). These funds were intended to transform projects historically funded as EE SMI projects to the Individual Placement and Support (IPS) approach, also known as the evidence based practice of supported employment.
$1.55 million, plus $500,000 additional in one-time funds for SFY 14-15
2013 Changes in Minnesota Legislation effective 7/1/13 (SFY 14) under 268A.13

IPS GrantsSFY 13 = $470,000 in VR grants; $285,00 in SMI grants= $755,000
167 individuals working across six agencies Average wages/hour = $9.80 Average hours worked/week =19 Average hours per week worked=22 Total wages-$685,000

1. IPS employment services are integrated with mental health treatment services
Eight Principles of IPS
Types: Under One Roof ~OR~ Part of Neighborhood
Components: Collaboration, not a Referral only, & Not brokered services
Maximize Braided Funding with emphasis on Partnering
Employment is focus of collaboration-not a separate event
Formation of multi-disciplinary team structured to work together
Minnesota’s Models of Collaboration Key Components
Why Integrate? (Bond, 2001)
◦ Lower dropout rate for consumers/customers
◦ Better communication
◦ Clinicians get involved
◦ Clinical information incorporated into employment plan
Integration of employment services and MH treatment services
What is a “ Treatment Team” ?
Regular daily contact
Ideally, ES is co-located with MH Team
Meet as least weekly to discuss cases & share clinical information
Shared treatment plan decision making (consumer makes the final call)
ES coordinates employment plans with treatment team.
Ideally, one integrated case record

2. Zero Exclusion: Every person who wants to work is
eligible
Principles of IPS
SOC Employment Pre-contemplation not thinking about work
Contemplation considering work
Preparation wants to start job search
Action job search/employment
Maintenance follow along supports
No ReadinessIndividual’s Stages of Change
3. Individual preferences are honored
Principles of IPS
30
Research shows people with serious mental illness generally have realistic ideas about what work
they can do, how many hours a week they can
work, and what work environments are good
or bad for them. (Becker& Drake, 2003)
Preferences Are Honored
4. Rapid Engagement in Job Search
The job search starts soon after a person expresses interest in working
Principles of IPS
Principles of IPS
Established based on person’s work preferences, face-to face with multiple visits
Focus on the employer’s needs Find jobs that they may not be
advertised Gather information about
upcoming job needs Periodic visits to employers—
Networking is how jobs are found!
5. Systematic Job DevelopmentEmployment specialists build relationships with employers
"The first time you share tea with a Balti, you are a stranger. The second time you take tea, you are an honored guest. The third time you share a cup of tea, you become family..."
Systematic Job Development, cont’d
“Three Cups of Tea Approach”

Principles of IPS
6. Competitive jobs
are “The Goal”
Competitive EmploymentIPS definition
Pays at least minimum wage and the wage that others receive performing the same work,
In community settings alongside others without disabilities,
Open to anyone to apply for-not reserved for people with disabilities.
35
Principles of IPS
7. Proactive Benefits counseling
Personalized benefits counseling is provided
Principles of IPS
8. Individualized
job supports are
Time-UN-limited
People with severe mental illness can work in competitive employment
Programs following evidence-based principles of supported employment /IPS have better outcomes
Integration of employment and mental health is what makes IPS different than other approaches to supported employment
Programs must address financial and organizational barriers to be successful
