This brief summarises key findings and recommendations from a report that explores proposals to improve employment and health outcomes for people with common mental health problems. The study, based on used targeted literature reviews, key informant interviews and stakeholder consultations, has developed policy options for the Government to consider, including: embed vocational support based on the individual placement and support model in the improving access to psychological therapies programme; use the jobs II model of group-work to build resilience to setbacks that benefit claimants face when job-seeking; provide access to online mental health and work assessments and support; and combine telephone-based psychological and employment-related support.

This research briefing draws on research, policy and guidance to summarise the evidence on what prevents people with mental health problems from working or retaining work in social care and what can be done to enable them to work. In particular it looks at evidence about discriminatory practice against people with mental health problems; and the evidence about recruitment and retention practices that can help in securing and retaining employment in the social care workforce. The implications for the policy community, practitioners, primary care, employees and for taking therapies are also provided.

Work may be defined in a number of ways and cover a variety of activities. As well as paid work, it can cover such activities as hobbies, housework, voluntary work and do-it-yourself. It is an important factor in promoting mental health. Meaningful work may actually reduce a client's psychiatric symptoms. A work rehabilitation programme needs to cater not only for those able to progress to open employment but also for those needing supported or sheltered employment.
