Indiana is one of seven states selected to participate in a federal program that aims to help people with mental health issues find jobs and make career advancements.
In addition to Indiana, the states of Florida, Iowa, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Virginia and Wisconsin will work with mental health advocacy organizations to develop their own plans.
There s no federal funding, but states will get federal assistance to start the programs. Federal officials are working with the Indiana Family and Social Services Administration, a spokesman for the U.S. Department of Labor said.
“With the right support, people with mental health conditions can succeed in the workforce, including individuals who haven’t previously been successful,” said Office of Disability Employment Policy Deputy Assistant Secretary Jennifer Sheehy.

INDIANAPOLIS In a study conducted shortly before COVID-19 vaccines became available in the U.S., more than two-thirds of nursing home and assisted living staff in Indiana indicated willingness to receive a vaccine immediately or in the future. The study was led by researchers from Regenstrief Institute, Indiana University and the State of Indiana. Vaccine uptake by front-line staff is important because it will help protect against serious illness and death for the high-risk people who receive care in these facilities.
