Year: 2017

Type: article

Abstract: This article provides an overview over current knowledge regarding helpful support to promote participation in education and work among people with mental health problems. Based on 14 studies gleaned from a systematic review, three overarching themes were identified through thematic analysis: supportive interpersonal relationships, integrating mental health and everyday life issues with education/employment support, and person-centered support. The findings call for a deeper understanding of support in the context of mental health and participation in education and work among people with mental health problems.
