Abstract

Veterans who are unemployed and living with mental health or substance use conditions are in need of integrative interventions that support their career development, mental wellness, and sobriety. However, career development interventions are often developed and implemented separate from mental health services. This paper introduces a novel intervention that supports career development of veterans with mental health and substance use concerns: Purposeful Pathways. This paper presents the results from three phases of intervention development: (1) retreats with clinical and vocational psychology experts (n=13) to develop the theoretical mechanisms of Purposeful Pathways, (2) focus groups with Veterans Health Affairs vocational counselors (n=6) who provide employment services to veterans with mental health conditions, and (3) an open trial in which veterans with mental health conditions (n=10) received Purposeful Pathways and provided feedback. Descriptions of the iterative processes of developing the Purposeful Pathways intervention are presented as a model for developing vocational interventions.

目的路径：职业、心理健康和物质使用康复的综合职业发展干预。

失业和有精神健康或物质使用问题的退伍军人需要综合干预，以支持他们的职业发展、精神健康和清醒。然而，职业发展干预措施的制定和实施往往与精神卫生服务分开。本文介绍了一种支持有心理健康和物质使用问题的退伍军人职业发展的新干预措施：有目的的途径。本文介绍了干预发展的三个阶段的结果：(1)与临床和职业心理学专家（n=13）共同探讨目的路径的理论机制，(2)与退伍军人健康事务职业咨询师（n=6）为有心理健康状况的退伍军人提供就业服务，(3)有心理健康状况的退伍军人（n=10）接受目的路径并提供反馈的公开试验。发展有目的途径干预的迭代过程的描述作为发展职业干预的模型提出。
