“…Peers can benefit from the social support they receive from the consumers they serve and their nonpeer co-workers, from the experience of helping others identify and resolve problems, and from interacting with other peers who successfully cope with their mental health conditions (Armstrong, et al, 1995;Corrigan & Phelan, 2004;Gates, Akabas, & Oran-Sabia, 1998;Mowbray,1997 ;Davidson, et al, 1999). Finally, peers benefit from the self-sufficiency due to increased income and a sense of self-efficacy and purpose to life that work brings (Akabas & Kurzman, 2005).…”

This study informs new strategies that promote integration of peer providers into the staff of social service agencies. Executive directors, human resource managers, supervisors and co-workers at 27 agencies in New York City were interviewed in-depth. Focus groups with peers were conducted. Consistent with previous research, respondents identified attitudes toward recovery, role conflict and confusion, lack of policies and practices around confidentiality, poorly defined job structure and lack of support as problems that undermined integration. Emerging from the data are strategies related to human resource policies and practices and workgroup relationships and operations that can improve employment of peer staff.

“…To assess workplace social networks, Gates, Akabas, and Oran-Sabia [18] created an instrument used specifically for people with mental illness in the workplace. The instrument asks clients to name members of their work group: supervisors, co-workers whom they work with directly, coworkers with whom they interact socially, other workplace employees they interact with (human resources, medical personnel), as well as union representatives, union assistants, employer assistants, and workplace management who approve job accommodations.…”

Clients with severe mental illness (SMI) often struggle in their efforts to maintain employment. One cause of early job terminations is interpersonal difficulties in the workplace. This study explored workplace social networks and their relationship with job outcomes and other employment characteristics for people with SMI. Results indicated that clients generally had positive experiences with both supervisors and coworkers. Contrary to our hypothesis, employment model was not associated with better workplace network characteristics. Also contrary to our hypothesis, clients employed in group placements did not differ in workplace network characteristics from those in competitive employment settings. Workplace network characteristics were robustly correlated with job satisfaction, but not strongly related to hourly wages or overall job tenure. Job tenure at the time of the workplace network assessment did show a few modest negative correlations with supervisor and coworker support, indicating declining perceived social network support with increasing job tenure. Study limitations and future directions for research using this methodology are discussed.

“…Some experts suggest that the structure provided by the habit of going to work and by the work environment can help to combat the symptoms of the disease [28]. In addition, employment provides opportunities to develop alternative social relationships outside of the mental health community [29,30] that can make people feel better. However, these positive influences could be observed in the long term rather than in the short term, in the permanence of a job and even more so, if the time of evolution of the disease and the period of inactivity has been long.…”

We consulted different electronic databases from 1998 to December 2015 and conducted a specific review of selfesteem components of the studies in relation to non-vocational outcomes with an Individual Placement and Support (IPS) strategy. We reviewed a total of 363 references, 83 were selected and 14 included: 9 randomized clinical trials, 1 systematic review and 4 comparative studies. We analysed the methodological quality of each of these studies using the Jadad, the Oxman and the Estabrooks scales. The findings on effectiveness in relation to non-vocational outcomes are not consistent and the evidence is still very weak.
