Discusses supported education (SEd), one of the newest pyschosocial rehabilitation (PSR) models for adults with mental illness. Its mission, principles and service components are presented, reflecting its basis in PSR practice. Evidence of the effectiveness of supported education based on research and evaluation studies is provided. Concludes with a discussion of why PSR and SEd are important to social work and how social workers can effectively use this evidence-based practice to maximise opportunities for consumers with a mental illness.
