Individual placement and support in the Scandinavian countries
Divergent Institutional Logics—Implementing Supported Employment in Hybrid Contexts of Danish Public Employment Services
Evidence‐based supported employment (SE) is increasingly implemented in Danish public employment services (PES), which can create conflicts between old and new ways of working. Our study examines the implementation of an SE intervention based on modified Individual Placement and Support (IPS) in three Danish municipal job centres. The intervention targets young people not in employment, education or training (NEETs) with less severe mental health…
Referring young people to psychosocial support in the context of a youth active labour market/education strategy
This study explores how experienced Danish caseworkers who work with young people at municipal job centres justify and make decisions regarding referring young clients to psychosocial interventions. Twelve caseworkers and a line manager from two municipalities were interviewed. A thematic analysis was conducted. Key themes were: in-house and out-of-house collaboration; referral as an ongoing process; matching the young person with the service pro…
Resonating relationships
This study examines how the experiences of participants in an Individual Placement and Support programme differ compared to their previous experiences with the psychiatric treatment system and employment services. The article is based on a qualitative study of 19 IPS participants’ experiences in a Danish context. The study was designed as a participatory research project involving two co-researchers with personal experience of IPS. The study show…
Implementing the Individual Placement and Support approach in institutional settings for employment and mental health services – perceptions and challenges from a case study in Denmark
‘Individual Placement and Support’ (IPS) is a supported employment approach targeted at people with severe mental health problems. A central principle in IPS is the integration of mental health and employment services. In Denmark, IPS has been implemented through cross-sectoral collaboration between municipal public employment services and regional mental health services. This study examines the implementation of IPS through a case-study of four …
Implementation of the individual placement and support approach – facilitators and barriers
The individual placement and support approach (IPS) has become a widely recognized evidence-based practice to provide work for more people with severe mental illness. The aim of this literature review was to identify and evaluate research on implementation of IPS, focusing on facilitators and barriers. Contextual, local organizational, cooperation/team and individual factors influence the implementation process. Key facilitators are the use of a …
Empowerment and personal assistance – resistance, consumer choice, partnership or discipline
The concept of empowerment has been closely linked to the development of personal assistance (PA) and the independent living ideology. However, the use of the concept of empowerment has been disputed as it has begun to be used in both the marketization of the PA scheme and as a government strategy to promote active partnership. In this article, we take a closer look at the concept of empowerment and how different approaches capture different rela…
Danish disability research across half a century
Social research on disability exhibits a degree of interdisciplinarity. While neither large nor clearly defined, this area of research has political relevance since it is often brought into play when drawing up or evaluating government policy to improve the situation for disabled people. The present article outlines Danish disability research with the emphasis on social research in the last 10 years. It points to forces and framework conditions t…
Disability meta-organizations and policy-making under new forms of governance
Disability meta-organizations are playing a significant role in influencing the development of disability policy. An example of this is the Disabled Peoples Organizations – Denmark (DPOD), which has managed to unify the disability movement and place itself in a unique position of power. The strategy of DPOD is based on organizational adaptation fitting into the institutional settings of government and building its influence on dialogue, and the e…
