The IPS Employment Center’s goal is to help the California behavioral health delivery systems and behavioral health practitioners deliver the most effective care possible. We do this by training and supporting the implementation of Individual Placement and Support (IPS), the evidence-based model of supported employment.<\/p>\n

IPS is a proven method that supports individuals living with significant behavioral health needs find and maintain competitive employment. Participation in IPS Supported Employment shows improved employment outcomes as well as improved self-esteem, independence, sense of belonging, and overall health and well-being.<\/p>\n<\/div>
