With regard to organization and financing of services, clinical and vocational services should be integrated at the client level, which would offer the client "single team of providers who provide a consistent message" (p. 368). Disability policies actually "socialize people into disability" rather than supporting them. Increasing the quality of vocational services will address several of the areas identified in the Intervention section, in addition to learning to implement, maintain, and update supported employment programs as research becomes available. Motivating people with psychiatric disabilities to work can be difficult, especially with the overwhelming issues they face, such as treatment itself, applying for benefits, obtaining insurance, or societal stigma. Job development is critical to supported employment; none of the approaches mentioned have been studied empirically. Individuals with greater symptoms are less likely to be employed unless vocational and psychiatric services are integrated.

Improving job supports would enhance the employability of the individual, such as increasing the use of natural supports and skills training. Career development implies a pattern of growth and increasing satisfaction in employment over time. And lastly, supported employment was proven as a successful technique in the field of developmental disabilities; it is being evaluated as a technique for use with populations other than those with psychiatric disabilities.
