Abstract
Objectives: Due to insufficient empirical data on the occupational participation of people affected by severe mental illness receiving integration assistance, routine data from a community psychiatry service were evaluated.
Methods: Reference workers filled out a short questionnaire on different occupational and employment aspects of their clients from supported housing/floating outreach. In addition to descriptive and exploratory analyses, overall results from previous survey rounds were also evaluated.
Results: N=1418 individuals (M=47.6 years) could be included, of whom approximately 45% had no job, sheltered employment, or daytime service. This percentage has remained almost unchanged over the last decades.
Conclusion: Overall, there is an urgent need for action to improve occupational participation opportunities for people with mental illness and substance addiction.
