A resource book
on the topic of employment is available for free download to help individuals
with mental health conditions who are thinking of going back to work or who
already have a job and want to keep it. The Employment Resource Book – published by
the Center for Practice Innovations at Columbia Psychiatry, New York State
Psychiatric Institute “is based on the principles and practices of effective
employment services that help people seek work independently. This resource
book does not recommend lengthy pre-work activities, because they have not been
shown to help people find competitive employment. Instead, this is an
action-oriented book, meaning that it encourages you to make thoughtful choices
and then consider taking steps toward finding and keeping a job that’s right
for you.” Available at http://practiceinnovations.org/Portals/0/Instructions/IPS/workbook_final_online_03-30-14.pdf
