Filter by:The first 4-6 months after an incident which caused a handicap or chronic disease, it is important to involve and motivate patients to return to work. After this period, there is a major decrease on successful vocational reintegration. To facilitate vocational rehabilitation a Disability Case Manager (DCM) may play a major role. The DCM will act as key figure between the patient, the multidisciplinary team of the revalidation centre, the employers and other back-to-work services. There is need to provide evidence on the value of this program. The aim of this study is to test the added value of including a DCM in the classic revalidation trajectory, who will focus on early vocational and/or social rehabilitation.

This project seeks to evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of combining cognitive remediation and Supported Employment Program (SEP) services to improve work outcomes in people with a serious mental illness who have been unable to benefit from vocational services (i.e., acquire or maintain a job). Cognitive remediation involves treating and improving cognitive impairments, such as memory (e.g., short-term and working memory), attention span, or problem solving skills. It is hypothesized that cognitive remediation will significantly improve peoples' employment outcomes in a supported employment program.
