“…The findings, particularly around identity and purpose, support prior research into the meaning and importance of work for persons with SMI (Dunn et al., 2008; Gilfedder, 2007; Krupa, 2004; Legere, 2007; Provencher et al., 2002; Strickler et al., 2009), and the importance of work to identity and growth (Auerbach and Richardson, 2005).

Objective: This study's purpose was to develop an understanding of the importance and meaning of vocational histories, present-time employment status, and vocational goals for older adults who were in treatment for schizophrenia-spectrum diagnoses. Methods: The theory of cumulative adversity and advantage focused 35 semistructured interviews and 43 field observation points that developed life history narratives of seven older adults in treatment for schizophrenia-spectrum diagnoses. Thematic narrative analysis was the primary analytic strategy. Results: Five shared themes within the life history narratives connected to vocational histories: ''Purpose is provided by work,'' ''identity in work,'' ''perseverance toward value-based vocational goals,'' ''the importance of an income,'' and ''illness symptoms and their treatment disrupted work.'' Discussion: Findings connect to practice implications for vocational programs for persons with serious mental illnesses, suggesting that vocational services for older adults could be rehabilitative and that vocational assessments should be holistic and values oriented. Psychiatric rehabilitation programs developed specifically for older adults might benefit from the inclusion of vocational rehabilitation options that do not rule out competitive employment. Social workers must be aware of bias in the profession toward persons on the basis of age and serious mental illnesses. Conclusion: In line with current vocational rehabilitation literature, the study concludes that psychiatric rehabilitation treatment that inhibits work can have unintended negative consequences for all persons with serious mental illnesses. Those negative

“…To fill this gap, rehabilitation led recovery-oriented services need to work in collaboration with PwMI, their family members and the rehabilitation team effectively to meet the needs of the PwMI and their caregivers (Habhab, 2018). In addition to this, one of the key element is professional attitude towards PWMI which plays an important role in promoting recovery, managing their lives beyond their illness and change of perceptions in the community in general (Legere, 2007;Mead & Copeland, 2000;Noordsy et al, 2002;Tooth et al, 2003). There are a number of studies which have focused on understanding the various rehabilitation needs of PwMI, their caregivers and community attitude towards PwMI, but very few studies have focused on understanding the health care workers, and non-healthcare workers attitude towards PwMI who are already undergoing supported employment services.…”

Education, employment, marital, income, and working status were significantly associated with CAMI domains. Conclusion: PwMI also can work like people without mental illness when the opportunities are provided. The community needs to regard mental illness in the same manner as chronic physical illness diabetes mellitus and allow PwMI to live a life of dignity by creating and offering opportunities to earn livelihood which would help them recover with their illnesses.
