Does Race Influence Response to Cognitive Remediation and Vocational Services in People with Severe Mental Illnesses?
Research shows that Black adults with SMI have lower employment rates as compared to White adults with SMI. Black adults report more negative experiences when receiving mental health services, resulting in higher attrition rates in vocational services. There is a lack of knowledge about whether evidence-based cognitive remediation and vocational programs are successful in engaging Black adults in ways that support their employment goals.
Making Sense of Employment Research (MSER) highlights employment research published in the Psychiatric Rehabilitation Journal. Each webinar will be designed to discuss a recently published study in a clear and relevant way, even if you know little or nothing about research.
MSER webinars are also available as podcasts on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube Music
