“…Many of these adaptations seemed to develop in relation to the local resources, the population funders were prioritizing, needs in the local community, participating stakeholders in the local community and the variety/ availability of collaboration partners (e.g. [3,9,16,36,40,46,64]). More recent trends in the literature suggest that while traditional SEd models have naturally included young adults, integrated models which are based on IPS principles, have only recently begun to prioritize this target group.…”

“…Much of the included literature suggests a need to consider work and studies as equally important for young adults. Career development is in this context a term that is often applied [8,9,17,18,26,36,45,60]. The concept includes practical approaches to planning on a longer term basis and often reflects a recoveryoriented philosophy that focuses on hopefulness towards the future [14,20,34,42,70].…”

At the same time, some recent studies suggest a need for more research describing the particular factors and components which comprise SEd in order to develop the evidence base for this intervention [8,9,20,59,66]. Figure 2 is presented as a summary of the essential components described above.…”

“…The term career development, which is often used in these contexts [1,8,9,18,36], includes concrete and continuous planning strategies which support the individual to find valued roles and a direction in life based on their interests and abilities as these evolve over time. The results suggest that career development goals may be supported by integrating SEd into an IPS service and that the diversity of outcomes that these integrated programs may produce, might be measured in relation to these long-term goals.…”

Young adults experiencing mental health problems are less educated than their peers, putting them in a more vulnerable position for employment and career possibilities. While Supported employment models have been widely implemented, educational supports may be necessary in order to contribute to longer term and sustainable employment. The aim of this study was to describe the state of current research regarding Supported education services for individuals with mental health problems, with a particular focus on studies that address both educational and vocational goals. A scoping review of articles published between 2000 and July 2020 was conducted. Eight databases were searched, titles/abstracts and full-text articles were reviewed for inclusion. The results, which built on 56 included articles, were analysed both descriptively and thematically. The results suggest that the focus in the literature has primarily been on adapting and implementing models for the needs of different populations and contexts. Many of these build on integrated models focusing on both vocational and educational needs. Despite addressing varied populations and working in varied contexts, it is possible to identify a number of essential components when delivering educational support. The review suggests a need to look at work and studies as equally important from a career development perspective. The knowledge base developed through studying supported education services and the educational components of newly emerging services, can contribute to the further development of integrated models for young adults.

Objective: Supported education (SEd) provides individualized support to people with mental health problems to achieve their educational goals. Individual placement and support (IPS) has emerged as a model through which SEd may be efficiently delivered. However, the components and characteristics of educational support for these employment-focused services have not been fully explored. Building on earlier studies, we constructed a preliminary model of SEd components that integrated with the IPS model. The SEd model included the eight original principles of IPS, developed to reflect the SEd component, and two new principles were suggested. The aim of the study is to investigate these adapted principles by exploring the feasibility of applying them within established IPS programs providing both employment and educational services. Methods: An organizational learning approach was taken, involving five IPS programs providing both employment and educational services to young adults with mental health problems. Data were collected through focus groups, interviews, and workshops with 19 IPS specialists. Results: The results suggest that while the IPS principles provide a feasible and relevant structure for the development and provision of integrated services, adaptations that reflect the educational context were considered valuable when supporting young adults in pursuing their career-related goals. Conclusions and Implications for Practice: The respondents confirmed that the SEd principles and the focus on support in educational contexts helped them to further develop their knowledge and strategies. While challenging, integrating SEd in IPS models shows good potential for supporting young adults as they struggle to reach longer term career-oriented goals. Impact and ImplicationsSupported Education principles can be valuable when supporting young adults with mental health problems pursuing long-term goals in IPS programs. Our findings may encourage service providers to focus on support in educational contexts and help them to further develop and refine their knowledge and strategies to achieve success in supporting young adults pursuing careers as well as short-term employment.

In recent years, the world mental health movement has developed rapidly, and people are paying more and more attention to mental health. China has clearly put forward the major task of comprehensively promoting the construction of a Healthy China and building a Healthy China by 2035. However, in contrast, the research on mental health in Western countries started earlier than in my country, and for a long period of time, my country has followed the research results of Western mental health ideas. Every different culture has its own unique psychological content. Due to factors such as values, habitual behavior, region, and cultural background, it is necessary to deeply explore the mental health thought resources in Chinese culture and study the mental health thought in Chinese culture. It provides new directions and ideas for our country’s psychological counseling and treatment, as well as mental health education and ideological and political education. This article starts from the basic concept of mental health education and sorts out the current research status at home and abroad. By analyzing the main ideas of mental health education work in the context of Healthy China, it explores the positioning of mental health education in social work, and finally, on the basis of strengthening the combination of Chinese culture and mental health thinking, making full use of localized mental health thought and applying it to practice, and drawing inspiration for the study of mental health thought in Chinese culture.
