Best practices in accommodating and retaining persons with mental health disabilities at work: Answered and unanswered questions

Abstract

Although growing in the last decade, the literature on employment outcomes for persons with mental health disorders continues to be fragmented, with research evidence not yet sufficient to develop best practice guidelines for employment interventions or job accommodations based on the published literature alone. While there are evidence-based employment interventions for individuals with severe mental illness, there is less of an evidence base for individuals with anxiety and mood disorders and mild to moderate brain injury, including both those who are not job attached and those already in the workforce. © 2011 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
