I’ve learned so much this month on @TalkMHResearch and appreciate you taking time to respond to my queries. QUESTION: Where does employment fit into SAMHSA’s CCBHC initiative designed to improve the quality of services provided by community-based MH programs?

[Sam Shore @PolicyDad]

In reading all the questions and replies, I’m starting to think more broadly about employment research across the life cycle. QUESTION: Do you think the results of your studies apply to people in MH recovery who are older and how? @TalkMHResearch

[Sam Shore @PolicyDad]

Your insights into employment research have been really valuable. QUESTION: As a parent interested in policy research, this @PolicyDad would like to know how you think parents and other supporters of people in MH recovery have been informed by your research. @TalkMHResearch

[Sam Shore @PolicyDad]

@TalkMHResearch What’s one employment study you enjoyed doing or learning from?

[Sam Shore @PolicyDad]

Looking forward to this month’s chat! I have always admired your research Dr. Rogers. QUESTION: Could you please share what inspired you to do this kind of work? @TalkMHResearch

[Sam Shore @PolicyDad]

@TalkMHResearch @UICHealthRRTC What are some creative methods to study co-occurring conditions while also addressing the needs of your research participants? @TalkMHResearch

[Sam Shore @PolicyDad]

@TalkMHResearch Has there been any research since 2006 looking further into the impact of deinstitutionalization due to the significant increase of long term forensic commitments to state hospitals? @TalkMHResearch

Another great list of research priorities. Need to figure out how to look at how payers incentivize providers to do evidence based supported employment and education services with fidelity. Need to look at value based payments. #futureofMHrehab

[Sam Shore @PolicyDad]

A great list of priorities for the immediate future. I would add translation for payers to drive frontline services. Also, how to engage people with MH disorders who have become involved in the criminal Justice system. #futureofMHrehab

Extremely important and relevant area of service in community mental health #futureofMHrehab Now, how to get insurance to pay for and promote it?

#futureofMHrehab excited to be at Hull House for the SOS Summit on PR Research

@AASuicidology This is a powerful statistic and points to the need to screen and intervene in primary care settings #suicidepreventionmonth

[Sam Shore @PolicyDad]

Good point - people need to make a living wage #SEworks

[Center on Transition Innovations @VCU_CTI]

@UICHealthRRTC A7: Assessing SE programs based on quality career-oriented placements. #SEworks

[Sam Shore @PolicyDad]

A7: Its essential that purchasers increase the use of value-based payments for SE to purchase employment outcomes and not just pay for processes #SEWorks

[Sam Shore @PolicyDad]

A7: Coordination with employment service providers is required in SAMHSA's initiative to improve care delivered at community mental health programs (CCBHC). See our infographic to learn more about policy to improve care coordination w voc rehab https://t.co/jdTijvxEMr

Great point. Good benefits counseling helps with clearing this up based on the individual's situation #SEworks

[Darius McKinney @DariusMcKinney2]

A6:
We find the #1 reason IPS clients don’t work is fear that public entitlements
will be reduced/lost. This fear is often based on misinformation. We need to
continually educate people about how to maintain their benefits while getting
back to work. #SEworks

[Sam Shore @PolicyDad]

A6: Public funds can be directed to purchase the outcome of employment over extended periods of time so that providers of SE are incentivized to get people employed #SEWorks

[Sam Shore @PolicyDad]

Q5: SE is an essential service for young adults who are recovering from their first episode of psychosis #SEworks

[Sam Shore @PolicyDad]

Great! Reduced medical costs are and important point to drive home to MCOs #SEworks

[UIC Health & MH RRTC @UICHealthRRTC]

A4. Let’s get managed care onto the SE bandwagon. There is evidence that people who are employed use fewer physical health services & have lower medical expenditures https://t.co/rL2oeyToMA #SEworks
