“…These factors have also been identified as influential on employment in prior studies gauging the perspectives of vocational staff in the community [39] and non-Veterans with mental illness [4,19,25]. In narrative interviews, our participants further described difficulties with specific symptoms of mental illness, as well as the difficulties imposed by undiagnosed and/or untreated SMI and PTSD.…”

“…Taken together, these findings suggest that interventions targeting maladaptive thoughts (e.g., cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT) pertinent to work may be helpful adjuncts to current VA vocational services; this notion of utilizing cognitive strategies has also been suggested to help "nonresponder" consumers with mental illness who continue to struggle with employment functioning despite high quality vocational services [17]. In a related vein, Johannesen and colleagues [25] found that a decrease in perceived barriers was related to an improvement in employment outcomes in non-Veterans with mental illness; they suggest that CBT may be an appropriate intervention to modify cognitive schemas related to work, thereby decreasing perceptions of work barriers and increasing the ability to cope with existing barriers. In addition, utilizing motivational techniques, such as motivational interviewing, may help increase intrinsic motivation to work.…”

“…In a follow-up study, fewer illness-related work barriers predicted longer subsequent job tenure, whereas common factors were unrelated to work outcomes [25]. Corbière and colleagues [12,13] produced a list of several work barriers impacting persons with severe mental illness, including work-related self-efficacy, personal motivation, stigma, labor market factors, structure used by the government (e.g., government entitlement rules that affect eligibility if employed), stress, health, and lack of job preparedness (e.g., education, work skills).…”

“…Common obstacles to employment include poor work history and experience, insufficient education, lack of a support system, personal problems (e.g., financial, transportation), physical illness, and discrimination (Liptak, 2009;Sigurdsson, Ring, O'Reilly, & Silverman, 2012). Barriers specifically related to psychological attributes include concentration challenges, psychosocial difficulties, emotional regulation deficits, stress management problems, substance use, and other essential impairments (Johannesen et al, 2009;Liptak, 2009;Sigurdsson et al, 2012). Importantly, psychological challenges can be problematic to resolve because "they have a direct impact on self-confidence and self-esteem, and can contribute to feelings of stress, anger, depression, and helplessness" (Liptak, 2009, p. 14).…”

Children living in homes where intimate partner violence occurs are often exposed to such violence through witnessing, seeing its effects, hearing about it, or otherwise being made aware that violence is taking place between parents or caregivers. Exposure to intimate partner violence is considered to be a form of child maltreatment, and affected children are often also the victims of targeted child abuse. This paper presents findings from a comprehensive review of the literature on the impact of exposure to intimate partner violence for children and youth, focusing on: (a) neurological disorders; (b) physical health outcomes; (c) mental health challenges; (d) conduct and behavioural problems; (e) delinquency, crime, and victimization; and (f) academic and employment outcomes. The notion of cascading effects informed our framework and analysis as it became evident that the individual categories of impacts were not only closely related to one another, but in a dynamic fashion also influence each other in multiple and interconnected ways over time. The research reviewed clearly shows that children who are exposed to intimate partner violence are at significant risk for lifelong negative outcomes, and the consequences are felt widely in society.

“…People with severe mental illnesses report low self-esteem and self-perception prevent them from seeking employment (Bond et al, 2001;Gewurtz & Kirsh, 2007;Howard et al, 2010). While symptoms of severe mental illness can be disabling, a person's perception of their limitations is often greater than reality and leads to unnecessary withdrawal from seeking employment (Johannesen, McGrew, Griss, & Born, 2009). The belief about one's skills in surmounting illness-related obstacles strongly influences the decision to work.…”

I would first like to thank my family and friends for supporting and encouraging me throughout this journey. They have helped keep me motivated and focused to achieve my goals, as well as served as outlets when needed. I would like to thank my thesis group mates, Jessi and Jeremy, for all the hard work and dedication put into this project. Although there has been struggle, we have achieved triumph. I also would like to thank all my classmates, we have all grown so much throughout this program, helped each other keep it together, reminded each other there is light at the end of the tunnel, to laugh and smile, and ultimately grown to be a family.-Louise Bobbitt I would like to thank my mentors, friends, family, and thesis partners for their love and support. Without this community I would have nothing in life and could have never finished this thesis project.-Jeremy Darrimon I, Jessi Saaty, first and foremost would like to thank my parents and little brother for supporting me unconditionally in everything that I do and being my rocks. I would like to thank my grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins for also supporting me and for motivating me to achieve my goals and to never settle. To my roommates, Kellie Hislop and Juilanna Bratsberg for keeping me sane through OT school and for reminding me that there is always room for humor and fun in our hectic schedules. Also, I would like to say a huge thank you to my group mates Jeremy Darrimon and Louise Bobbitt. This was not an easy process and was quite the adventure, but we did it, and I am proud of you both for not giving up. Thank you to all of my friends, classmates, and teammates for being there for me when I need you, and encouraging me to finish what I start. I could not have vi done any of this without my amazing friends and family, and I want to thank you all for pushing me through.-Jessi Saaty We would like to thank our thesis advisor Dr Janis Davis for her grace, patience, and direction. We are grateful for our second reader, Kitsum Li, for her experienced and insightful feedback. We appreciate Dr. Ramsey and all the faculty at Dominican University for honing our academic, research, and professional skills. This project could not have occurred without collaboration with and trust from Buckelew Employment
