24 Miss. Code. R. 2-24.3 - Supported Employment Services for Serious Mental Illness
A. Supported Employment Services are provided
to people with severe and persistent mental illness who have indicated
employment is one (1) of their goals. The activities of Supported Employment
help people achieve and sustain recovery. The goal of Supported Employment
Services is to assist people with serious mental illness in discovering paths
of self-sufficiency and recovery, rather than disability and
dependence.
B. Supported Employment
Services must develop policies and procedures to provide and expand
evidence-based Supported Employment Services (such as the Individual Placement
and Support [IPS] model), to adults with severe and persistent mental illness
as listed in the most current edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual
of Mental Disorders. All adults with severe mental illness are eligible,
including dual disorders of substance use and mental illness.
C. Supported Employment Services must be
voluntary.
D. Supported Employment
Services will have no eligibility restrictions such as: job readiness, no
substance use, no violent behavior, minimal intellectual functioning, or mild
symptoms. Zero exclusion criteria promote the person's readiness to
work.
