Also when thinking about next steps @TalkMHResearch, we’re intrigued by the disability concept of “crip time," offering diverse ways to think about time usage. The lived experience of disability could/should have a profound impact on business culture. tinyurl.com/yw5naajb
We agree with the important point about adapting IPS supported employment to include educational supports for young adults, along with the need for more research on this model. Our @UICHealthRRTC also provides a policy infographic on integrating IPS & SEd: tinyurl.com/y4dtsc7e

Thanks @TalkMHResearch for a great disability employment research Chat! Sally, I'm wondering if you could reflect on the social determinants of employment (like the SDOH)? It's not uncommon to find that one's mental health is not the biggest barrier to getting & keeping work.

Stigma, prejudice and discrimination in the workplace are real and difficult barriers for people with psych disabilities. Have you seen evidence of stigmatizing words, actions, behaviors in your workplace?
I like WHO's concept of Decent Work, encompassing opportunities for productive work at a fair income, security in the workplace, better prospects for personal development & social integration, freedom for workers to organize, & equity at work among other things.
Continuing our #TwitterChat, we need to continue to innovate in order to help people find not just “a job tomorrow” but “Decent Work”, as defined by the World Health Organization: ilo.org/global/topics/decent…
