Description
In the U.S., 10 million young adults aged 18 to 25 report a mental health condition, of which 3 million are classified as serious mental illness. Many are unemployed and at risk of long-term negative outcomes, including long periods of unemployment, reduced lifetime earnings, poverty, lifelong dependency on disability benefits, and poor psychological health. This webinar will discuss the role of work in mental health treatment of young adults. Next, we examine the potential of an evidence-based supported employment, known as Individual Placement and Support (IPS), to help young adults with mental health conditions gain and keep jobs, describing a fidelity scale used to monitor quality of IPS services for this population. Finally, we will describe young adult subgroups for which IPS has been implemented and review the research on the effectiveness of IPS for this age group.

Continuing Education Credit
In support of improving patient care, American Psychiatric Association (APA) is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), to provide continuing education for the healthcare team.
Physicians
The APA designates this live event for a maximum of 1.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
Psychologists
Continuing Education (CE) credits for psychologists are provided through the co-sponsorship of the American Psychological Association (APA) Office of Continuing Education in Psychology (CEP). The APA CEP Office maintains responsibility for the content of the programs.
Social Workers
As a Jointly Accredited Organization, American Psychiatric Association (APA) is approved to offer social work continuing education by the Association of Social Work Boards (ASWB) Approved Continuing Education (ACE) program. Organizations, not individual courses, are approved under this program. State and provincial regulatory boards have the final authority to determine whether an individual course may be accepted for continuing education credit. APA maintains responsibility for this course. Social workers completing this course receive up to 1.00 general continuing education credits.
***Continuing education requirements vary from state to state. Many state boards grant reciprocity with national accrediting organizations and other state boards. It is the responsibility of each professional to understand the requirements for license renewal or check with the state or national licensing board and/or professional organization to become more familiar with their policies for acceptable continuing education credit. Social workers and Psychologists should contact their regulatory board to determine course approval.
