Until recently it has been assumed that people who experience severe and enduring mental health problems are unable to work, unless or until they recover. That assumption is now being challenged by international research demonstrating that, with the right support, people can succeed in finding and keeping a job even when they continue to need support from mental health services. This book draws together the research undertaken to date and combines it with mental health service users’ perspectives on the workplace to validate key points.

Interviews with job retention clients, their employers and case managers were carried out. A group interview with GPs was also conducted. Client-focused interventions were reported to be helpful by clients and GPs and employer -focused interventions were appreciated by both clients and employers. All clients attributed positive outcomes to the service. In conclusion, these preliminary results support the further development and evaluation of job retention services.
