In this research webinar from September 2024, “The impact of Individual Placement and Support on employment, health and social outcomes: evidence from Aotearoa”, lead researcher Moira Wilson (formerly with Insights, Ministry of Social Development) presents findings from the second stage of a research study that explores the impacts of IPS employment support in Aotearoa, with a focus on its effect on employment, income, health, education and justice outcomes.
The video will be of interest for people working in health, social services, social development, and other support teams.
About the webinar
We have seen the integration of IPS employment support with community mental health and addiction teams develop over the years. Working together, we see the impact of employment support and the wellbeing that it can bring.
The MSD team partnered with an expert team of researchers from across New Zealand to estimate the causal effects of IPS employment support participation on outcomes. This included examining impacts for Māori and by gender, all with the aim of improving the evidence base for future policy and funding decisions.
This webinar presents the second stage of a research study (following on from 2021). Findings of the study were published in the New Zealand Medical Journal in September 2024.
