Maintaining Independence and Sobriety through Systems Integration, Outreach and Networking (MISSION) is an evidence-based, time-limited, yet flexible, integrated behavioral intervention. MISSION was developed specifically to meet the unique needs of individuals, with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders (CODs), with versions available for homeless individuals, criminal justice-involved individuals, and military veterans.
Theoretically rooted in the Health Belief Model (HBM), MISSION combines several Evidence-Based Practices (EBP) into a comprehensive system of care to explore and address population specific factors (i.e., criminogenic factors in criminal justice populations), provide COD treatment, and link participants to community-based supports to sustain recovery.
This module presents the role and provision of vocational and educational supports offered within the MISSION treatment approach, including the critical components of existing vocational and educational supports, such as Individual Placement and Support (IPS), Supported Employment (SE), and Supported Education (SEd), developed to help clients meet their employment and educational goals. The importance of linking clients to these, as well as other, state and community based vocational and continuing education programs is covered.
