Ramsey County, Minnesota, developed a pilot program to increase employment among TANF recipients with work limitations and disabilities. It gathered into the same location mental health services, health care services, and employment services following the Individual Placement and Support (IPS) model. The results offer promise that IPS, which has been shown to be effective among individuals with severe mental illness, might be adapted effectively for TANF recipients with disabilities. In this webinar, Boyd Brown and Thomas Jaeger from Goodwill Easter Seals Minnesota will talk about how they used the IPS model in their work with TANF recipients and how it differs from the job search programs usually operated by TANF agencies.
