Enabling people with psychiatric disorders to gain job opportunities presents a formidable challenge to mental health and vocational rehabilitation workers. Successful programmes emphasise careful assessment and treatment planning processes, job tailoring, interventions to assist work adjustment and continuing support and involvement from the vocational rehabilitation team. This article describes the first 15 months' operation of such a scheme in Northern Ireland. It has succeeded in overcoming organisational barriers to vocational rehabilitation and at the time of writing the majority of the clients are engaged in employment, work training or educational activities. Highlights the need for additional client support and careful continued monitoring.

Concludes that notwithstanding the aetiological complexity of suicide, the prevention, recognition and treatment of mental disorder will continue to play key roles in suicide prevention.
