Any adult client with severe and persistent mental illness interested in working and is currently receiving services at Spring River Mental Health & Wellness, Inc. can receive IPS Services, regardless of job readiness factors, substance abuse, symptoms, etc.

Support will be individualized and will continue for as long as you want and need. Your mental health treatment team will also be involved in helping you succeed in meeting your employment goals.

Ask any member of your treatment team to refer you to the IPS program and an Employment Specialist will be assigned to work with you.
