PLACES

The PLACES intervention is based on eight IPS principles, ensuring competitive employment, client choice, service integration, personalized benefits counseling, rapid job search, systematic development, and individualized support. Coaches: Certified IPS coaches receive training from Phrenos IPS knowledge center and Re-turn. Ongoing support includes video lectures, clarifications with researchers, and biannual collective sessions. Coaches, regionally specialized, implement interventions autonomously. Intervention Phases: 1. Intake and Assessment: Participants meet IPS coaches within three days to discuss goals, procedures, and responsibilities, continuing until objectives are met. 2. Acquisition and Application: Coaches assist job search and placement, aiming for employment within 30 days. 3. Placement and Support: Coaches offer personalized support, adapting to needs, scheduling meetings based on preferences. The intervention ends at 12 months or when goals are achieved.
