Brief Summary
Employment is a key protective factor against recidivism; however, the lack of job opportunities keeps justice-involved mentally ill individuals, especially young adults of color, unemployed and at risk for future justice involvement. To address these issues and grow the evidence for evidence-based practices for justice-involved adults with mental illnesses, the investigators will study the implementation and outcomes of individual placement support-supported employment (IPS-SE) combined with specialty mental health probation (SMHP) for probationers with mental illnesses.

Treatment as usual
NO INTERVENTIONTreatment as usual, with respect to employment, for individuals on probation typically entails the probation officer informing the probationer that probationer is responsible for obtaining employment or could entail a referral from a probation officer to an employment or job assistance service, such as vocational rehabilitation. The probationer is responsible for follow up with that service.
Intervention - Individual Placement Support-Supported Employment
EXPERIMENTALSubjects in this condition will receive services from a 1.5 FTE IPS-SE team that will work to provide one-on-one person-centered services to help obtain employment, including but not limited to career profiling, resume assistance, job placement, training and other activities.
Interventions
Individual, person-centered intervention designed to help individuals living with mental illnesses obtain and sustain meaningful employment. This is an evidence-based practice for individuals with severe mental illnesses.

- on probation and supervised by a SMHP officer;
- aged 18-99;
- interested in obtaining employment; and

Data Sharing
- IPD Sharing
- Will share
- Time Frame
- The data will become available 24 calendar months after completion of the study. The data will be available for up to 5 years.
- Access Criteria
- Upon request for the data to be shared and evidence of ethics approval, a data-sharing agreement will be required. Researchers with a convincing scientific interest in the data will be eligible to receive the data, without regard for the type of research question.
In the interest of reinforcing open scientific inquiry, data from this study will be made available by the Principal Investigator (PI) as freely as possible while safeguarding the confidentiality and privacy of participants. A final research data set will be prepared containing de-identified data on the \~130 expected participants. A data-sharing agreement will be required and those seeking data access will be required to obtain ethics approval. Researchers with a convincing scientific interest in the data will be eligible to receive the data. The data-sharing agreement will provide for the use of the data only for research and no other purpose, require a plan for the security of the data, forbid the further dissemination of the data without entering into an agreement, and provide a deadline for the completion of analyses and destruction of the data. Data will be made available under the auspices of the PIs by secure file transfer protocols or other secure, industry-approved means.
