Services include development of employment opportunities and ongoing support including job coaching, assistive technology, job retention, and more.

Our Supported Employment program utilizes the evidence-based Individualized Placement and Support (IPS) model, which integrates the following eight principles:

• Eligibility is based upon client choice.
• Supported employment services are closely integrated with mental health treatment services.
• Competitive jobs are the goal.
• Employer contact begins rapidly after clients enter the program.
• Employment specialists build relationships with employers based upon individuals’ job interests.
• Job supports are continuous.
• Consumer preferences are honored.
• Benefits planning (work incentives planning) is offered to all individuals who receive entitlements.

South Lane Mental Health offers a supported housing program that includes case management, medication management assistance, and individual skills training, as well as assisting clients in meeting their daily needs. We have a multi-disciplinary staff of caring individuals who work together in a team approach, so that responsibility for client care is shared and coordinated. Staff disciplines include social workers, family therapists, nurse practitioners and other Qualified Mental Health Professionals and Associates.

Housing options include:

• A complex of subsidized apartments managed by South Lane Mental Health, with staff on site seven days a week, and emergency staff available 24/7;
