N2  - Employment has significant health benefits for people with a psychiatric disability, including improved mental health and wellbeing and a reduction in symptoms and rates of relapse. Systematic reviews show that supported employment is more effective than prevocational training in achieving open employment for this group. Health services should invest in developing partnerships and structures to ensure access to evidence-based supported employment programs for people with a psychiatric disability. We draw on exploratory research in south-west Sydney to discuss some of the challenges that a focus on employment presents for mental health services.
