Supported employment is an investment that pays off. Both those services show, without a doubt, for Decades of research, a financial return in terms in addition to, I guess, the social return we get from the stories we talked about at the beginning of the podcast and how people can kind of turn their lives around.
How do housing and employment shape mental health recovery? In this episode of 'Essential Conversations', hosts dive into this crucial topic with Suzanne Watson from Southwest IA Mental Health and Disability Services and Bill Baerentzen from the Behavioral Health Education Center of Nebraska. The discussion uncovers how stable housing and meaningful employment are not just basic needs but pivotal elements in supporting mental health and substance use disorder recovery.
Suzanne and Bill share compelling stories of clients whose lives have been transformed through these supports, highlighting the financial and social benefits that come with investing in these areas. The episode also addresses the shifting landscape of funding during the COVID-19 pandemic and offers practical advice for future planning. Behavioral health providers will find this conversation particularly valuable, as it underscores the importance of leading with hope and resilience to inspire those they serve.
