[Social and professional rehabilitation for people presenting with severe mental disorders].
Supported employment programs for people with severe mental disorders offered by 2 agencies in the Quebec City area were assessed after 10 years of operation. The study, which followed 30 participants over a period of 10 months, found gains in the areas of improved self-esteem, greater capacity to deal with daily stress, enhancement of quality of life and acquisition of vocational skills. Results are discussed in the light of existing knowledge on integration into the workplace.
