Four video case studies on supported employment which explain how four individuals were supported by different agencies to find permanent employment. Cornerstone helped Julie, who has systematic lupus erthymatosis, regain her self confidence through a new career as a catering assistant in a care home. Fraktul, a web design and marketing company, found helpful advice and support from Capability Scotland on making adaptations to the workplace when they employed Victoria, who lives with cerebral palsy. Elizabeth found her way back into employment after a long period of severe depression, with the help of the Scottish Association for Mental Health (SAMH). Lyndsay and the RNIB demonstrate that visual impairment need not be a barrier to working in and managing a cafe. Their stories provide a picture of the outcomes that supported employment can achieve. The transcripts and videos can be downloaded. (Edited publisher abstract)

Survey of the mental health of parents caring for their children who have cerebral palsy and whose ages range from one to fifty-two years. The mental health of many fathers and even more mothers was found to be severely affected by the caring process. Thirty five per cent of fathers and fifty eight per cent of mothers scored above the the threshold for non-psychotic psychiatric disorders. Locus of control and self esteem of parents was also assessed.
