A new article published in the Community Mental Health Journal finds service users who had experienced psychosis and received early intervention in psychosis services (EIS) had significant problems finding and maintaining employment during their recovery. This research, headed by Nev Jones, assistant professor in the School of Social Work at Pitt, reports the most common vocational outcomes for service users were unemployment and low-wage, short-term employment. Additionally, the current work reports that EIS emphasized quick placement in low-wage jobs over career development.
