Description
- Abstract
- For the ADEL program impact behavioral health partners ("impact") and its partner, erie family health centers ("erie"), propose the apoyo DE empleo latino (ADEL) program. ADEL aims to address employment disparities among low-income adults with serious mental health illness (SMI) or CO-occurring SMI and substance use disorders (COD). The program will predominately serve low-income hispanic and african american females in erie community areas around chicago, IL. ADEL will build on and replicate the success of existing seps by reaching more under-resourced areas served by erie using the evidence-based individual placement and support (IPS) model of employment services. ADEL aims to improve functioning and enrichment of clients with SMI and COD by referring clients to care and providing comprehensive, individualized employment services. Activities include a vocational assessment, benefits counseling, a job search plan, integrating with mental and behavioral health treatment providers, networking with employers, and determining specific needs such as transportation and interview skills. Services are time-unlimited, and once the client receives an offer of employment, employment specialists shift to job maintenance support. The population of focus (POF) for ADEL is hispanic females (70%), and another 15% african american females, including those best served in a language other than english (50%) and uninsured (25%). The remaining 15% will be individuals from other groups living below the poverty line in need of these services. These populations have systematically experienced greater obstacles to health and socioeconomic mobility based on their ethnicity, geographic location, socioeconomic status, and gender identity. With the additional presence of SMI and COD, the population of focus has an employment rate significantly below national average. ADEL will address the employment disparities with tailored services for the POF. Since implementing IPS employment services 11 years ago, impact has become a nationally recognized leader in the field for their innovative approach to providing services in partnership with federally qualified health centers (FQHCS) like erie. Impact was recently nominated by the IL division of rehabilitation services and department of mental health for "most significant improvement in the number of people who have received good fidelity IPS supported employment services." clients in current impact SEP programs have successfully obtained competitive employment and retained their positions, with 83% retaining employment for at least 90 days and 70% retaining employment for at least 180 days. Similar outcomes are expected from ADEL since we will be replicating the successful components of our existing program. The goals of ADEL include facilitating entry into treatment for those with SMI and COD by referring them for services, and conducting outreach and providing employment support materials to 550 clients each year (2,750 total); conducting entry activities such as vocational assessments to 120 clients the first year and 200 clients each year thereafter (920 total); make initial contact with prospective employers within 30 days of entry into ADEL for 95% of clients 114 the first year and 190 each year thereafter (874 total); retaining 90% of clients in competitive employment for 3 months (108 first year and 180 thereafter [828 total]); retaining 70% of clients in competitive employment for 6 months (84 first year and 140 thereafter [644 total]); growing the employer network by 10% annually; training 100% of program staff in diversity, equity, and inclusion; and improving quality of life measures such as housing and support recovery. ADEL will reach these goals by employing a comprehensive strategy of outreach, assessment, the evidence-based IPS employment model, and referrals.
