Youth with
mental health needs often face unemployment, underemployment, and
discrimination when they enter the workforce. Employment data show that
individuals with serious mental illness have the lowest level of employment of
any group of people with disabilities. The National Collaborative on Workforce
and Disability for Youth (NCWD/Youth) offers several publications that outline
practical information and resources for youth service practitioners. In
addition, they provide policymakers, from the program to the state level, with
information to help them address system and policy obstacles in order to
improve service delivery systems for youth with mental health needs.
