Mental illness, like any health problem, can disrupt a person's ability to work. Millions of people across the country struggle with this debilitating condition and need effective support to continue working and living independently.mental health employment support graphic

Mathematica Policy Research is committed to improving care for mental health as well as substance use disorders. In recognition of National Mental Health Awareness Month, we highlight our recent work on the role of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in connecting people with mental illness to evidence-based supported employment services. Read our new In Focus fact sheet on how the ACA can open doors for these individuals to get the support they need.
