RACV
A new evidence-based service aimed at supporting young people with mental ill-health back to work and study has been established at Barwon Health’s Jigsaw Youth Mental Health Drugs and Alcohol Services in Corio.
The Individual Placement and Support (IPS) service is just one program to be delivered as part of a three-year partnership between Orygen and RACV aimed at improving education and employment success for young people suffering mental ill-health. The delivery partner for IPS is Barwon Health.
IPS is an evidence-based model of employment and education support for young people which integrates vocational support services with clinical mental health services.
