People with psychiatric disabilities often require extensive support to maintain employment. The authors describe five areas that supported employment programs should carefully examine when creating a supportive workplace environment: "natural" co-worker supports, personal network supports, training supports, self-management supports, and organizational supports. The different support needs of persons with developmental disabilities and those with psychiatric disabilities are highlighted, particularly in regard to how social stereotypes of these two groups influence decisions about how to provide support. The authors also discuss strategies that can be used by transitional employment programs for creating more effective supports within the limitations of the transitional setting.
患有精神疾病的人往往需要大量支持来维持就业。作者描述了支持性就业项目在营造支持性工作环境时应仔细审视的五个方面：“自然的”同事支持、个人网络支持、培训支持、自我管理支持和组织支持。文中强调了发育障碍者和精神疾病患者不同的支持需求，特别是这两类人群的社会刻板印象如何影响关于提供支持方式的决策。作者还讨论了过渡性就业项目在过渡环境的限制范围内可用于创造更有效支持的策略。
