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. The paper will be published in the New Zealand Medical Journal on 6 September 2024.
About the presenter
Moira Wilson is currently a doctoral candidate at AUT. In her former role at the Ministry of Social Development, Moira led a number of research and evaluation programmes focussed on different income support policies and employment and social services.
