Supporting the Education of Young Adults with Serious Mental Health Conditions: State of the Science & Practice

Abstract

The majority of college students with serious mental health conditions (SMHC) do not finish school, jeopardizing their long-term employment. Can supported education services help? Marsha Ellison, Michelle Mullen and Kathleen Biebel, researchers and trainers of supported education services, hosted a 2-part webinar series presenting the state of the science of the practice of supported education and related strategies for achieving post-secondary education goals of young adults with SMHC. What is supported education? Why is it important? What is the evidence? Part 2: State of the Practice is also available.
