“…Whilst there was provision for social inclusion within the community forensic services, some clinicians were unclear as to what added value (or relative advantage) a dedicated IPS service would have, and raised concerns that this would add a layer of complexity to therapeutic interventions, thereby distracting attention away from the core clinical business. Some clinicians in the PD service cluster also felt that therapy should take priority over IPS services, to help keep patients focused on recovery, ignoring that employment is a key component of recovery (Van Stolk, 2014). Further, as there were no performance related indicators attached to supported employment within the trust, there was no incentive for senior managers to promote supported employment among staff and patient groups.…”

Introduction: Assessment of the effectiveness of individual placement and support in forensic mental health settings is a relatively new field of research despite evidence demonstrating its effectiveness in generic mental health settings. Method: IPS was implemented into a community forensic mental health setting within a large National Health Service trust in the United Kingdom over 6 months. Using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research this paper describes the lessons learned from implementing individual placement and support into such settings. Results: Our findings suggest that implementation of individual placement and support in forensic mental health settings is complex and requires robust planning and collaboration with internal and external agencies. Barriers to implementation included staff attitudes, difficulty engaging employers and lack of employment related performance indicators, and facilitators included the support of service managers and outside groups. Adaptations to the IPS model were made to address challenges encountered, including difficulty starting rapid job searches, concerns about stigma, lack of confidence, uncertainty around employment opportunities, offence restrictions and lack of interest from potential employers. Conclusion: This paper adds to the limited literature in the field. Findings are relevant to practitioners and service providers who wish to implement individual placement and support services for people with mental disorder and offending histories.

“…A number of policy documents (WHO, 2011; van Stolk et al 2014) have summarized some of the limited randomized controlled trial (RCT) evidence of the effects on mental health of interventions for people who have lost their jobs, most notably studies of the JOBS programmes in the USA (Caplan et al 1989; Vinokur et al 1995 b ) and the Työhön job search programme in Finland (Vuori et al 2002). Two reviews assessed the evidence on ‘job search’ interventions and included data from randomized and non-randomized studies (Audhoe et al 2010; Liu et al 2014).…”

Interventions to reduce the impact of unemployment and economic hardship on mental health in the general population: a systematic review

et al. 2016

BackgroundJob loss, debt and financial difficulties are associated with increased risk of mental illness and suicide in the general population. Interventions targeting people in debt or unemployed might help reduce these effects.MethodWe searched MEDLINE, Embase, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and PsycINFO (January 2016) for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of interventions to reduce the effects of unemployment and debt on mental health in general population samples. We assessed papers for inclusion, extracted data and assessed risk of bias.ResultsEleven RCTs (n = 5303 participants) met the inclusion criteria. All recruited participants were unemployed. Five RCTs assessed ‘job-club’ interventions, two cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) and a single RCT assessed each of emotional competency training, expressive writing, guided imagery and debt advice. All studies were at high risk of bias. ‘Job club’ interventions led to improvements in levels of depression up to 2 years post-intervention; effects were strongest among those at increased risk of depression (improvements of up to 0.2–0.3 s.d. in depression scores). There was mixed evidence for effectiveness of group CBT on symptoms of depression. An RCT of debt advice found no effect but had poor uptake. Single trials of three other interventions showed no evidence of benefit.Conclusions‘Job-club’ interventions may be effective in reducing depressive symptoms in unemployed people, particularly those at high risk of depression. Evidence for CBT-type interventions is mixed; further trials are needed. However the studies are old and at high risk of bias. Future intervention studies should follow CONSORT guidelines and address issues of poor uptake.

“…According to a study published in 2020, people with a graduate degree were more stressed than people with an undergrad or higher secondary education [30]. In study from several countries, income or salary was discovered to be a crucial determinant for mental health [31][32][33][34][35][36]. The interesting finding was that individuals with higher incomes were more mentally affected than those with lower incomes [37].…”

Since its emergence in 2019, the COVID-19 pandemic has posed a threat to the financial system, lives, physical and mental health. This review investigated how the COVID-19 pandemic affects youth's mental health. A significant portion of the participants were found to be significantly and moderately impaired in terms of mental health as a result of the lockdown. Family status, profession, marital status, avoiding shaking hands, cleaning and disinfecting frequently used objects and surfaces, educated citizens, impact on living, access to food, behavioral patterns, and effect on education are all strongly linked to poor mental health outcomes. Age, marital status, the probability of participants or their family members becoming sick from COVID-19, the impact on salaries, physical and mental abuse, closed schools, and other factors all significantly predicted mental health outcomes, according to the results of multinomial logistic regression analysis.
