Dear friend,
This month we’ve launched two new publications, exploring how to improve support for people with both mental health and substance use problems, and setting out six key areas where investment could make the biggest difference to mental health.
I’m also excited to bring you an update about our IPS training. Individual Placement and Support (IPS) helps people with mental health problems into paid employment as part of their recovery. For over 12 years, we’ve been training IPS services in how to provide this life-changing support.
In 2021, we started to assist the rollout of IPS in drug and alcohol services. Since then, we’ve trained over 1,000 IPS workers in these services. With the Government’s new Connect to Work initiative expanding IPS even further, our training is in high demand, and we’re excited to be part of this national effort. We also recently attended the IPS annual conference in Tennessee, where we connected with global experts to share best practices. Explore our training courses here.
