Vocational Programs and Services in Canada

Publication: Canadian Journal of Community Mental Health
April 1991

Abstract

This paper offers an overview of the psychiatric vocational rehabilitation system using brief descriptions of Canadian program models to describe employment preparation services and vocational programs. The psychiatric rehabilitation literature clearly demonstrates that persons with psychiatric disabilities are potentially employable if they are provided with appropriate services, employment programs, and support. Although vocational programs are proliferating in all provinces across Canada, there are strong indications that more programming and funding is urgently needed.

Résumé

Cet article présente une vue d'ensemble des services canadiens de réadaptation au travail. On y trouve de bréves descriptions de programmes modéles de prèparation à l'emploi et de formation professionnelle. La littérature sur la réadaptation en psychiatrie démontre clairement que les personnes qui connaissent des problèmes de santé mentale peuvent occuper un emploi, en autant qu'on leur offre des services adéquats, des programmes d'emploi appropriés, et du soutien. Bien que les programmes de formation professionnelle prolifèrent à l'heure actuelle dans toutes les provinces du Canada, il demeure urgent de développer d'autres programmes et d'augmenter les fonds en conséquences.
