title: Thinking out of the box: an intersectoral model for vocational rehabilitation.
abstract: This study examined an intersectoral work insertion program that involves the collaboration of six stakeholders from different sectors in the community, including health and vocation. An innovative program logic model has been developed that explains the theoretical rationale behind intersectoral collaboration and work insertion. The principles and ideology of local development have led to the development of this program and have several implications for the social integration of individuals with mental illness. The paper first discusses how such an approach is developed and implemented and follows with a presentation of a model of an intersectoral work insertion program.
