Using the Social Enterprise Intervention and Individual Placement and Support Models to Improve Employment and Clinical Outcomes of Homeless Youth With Mental Illness” (abstract). Kristin M. Ferguson. Social Work in Mental Health, Vol. 11, No. 5 (2013).
What it’s about: Author Kristin M. Ferguson worked with two social services agencies in Los Angeles that work with homeless youth who also suffer from mental illness. Together, Ferguson and agency staff studied the effect on young people of two programs that combine employment and mental health services.
About three dozen youth participated in each of the two studies. In each case, Ferguson involved staff, clients, community members, board members and others in conducting the research, an approach called community-based participatory research. Both studies had an "intervention group" that took part in the program being studied and a "control group" that got regular support services.
