Individual Placement and Support (IPS) | Locust Street Resource Center

Individual Placement and Support (IPS) works to assist individuals living with mental illness to find and maintain competitive employment. Services include helping write a resume, practice interviewing skills, and problem solve obstacles to working (i.e. lack of transportation, legal history, etc.). Can also provide transportation in the job search or in attending an interview and will stay involved after a job has been obtained to provide support during those first days and weeks of working. Services are initiated with a vocational assessment that addresses a person's job preferences and goals.
