The Collecting Histories of Education and Employment during Recovery (CHEER) study within The Learning and Working Center focuses on the experiences and challenges of young adults with serious mental health conditions (SMHC). 25-30-year-olds with psychiatric disabilities were interviewed for this study and asked to describe their education, training, and employment histories, with key findings being reported in this webinar. Helpful aspects of school and work such as flexibility and support are identified by presenters and are important for those working with young adults with SMHC to support their educational and career goals.
