In our society, meaningful roles are determined by our vocations. Clients served in mental health systems are often excluded from employment opportunities. This session has two parts; it first offer research perspectives that address the knowledge, skills, and experience required for mental health recovery, and second, explores the relationship between employment and mental health recovery.
Session Objectives: Assess the impact of mental and physical disorders on employment and disability.
