Job search skills for unemployed psychiatric patients.
Chronically mentally ill patients often lack skills for finding employment independently. A program based on "SCORE: Solving Community Obstacles and Restoring Employment" was implemented by a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant in a teaching hospital. The program implemented two years ago as a Special Project has been successful. Fifteen low level patients trained in this program have obtained remunerative employment and two others are performing volunteer services on a regular basis.
