The SE program seeks to increase evidence-based, supported employment programs for individuals with co-occurring mental and substance use disorders.

In 2014, SAMHSA awarded seven Transforming Lives Through Supported Employment (SE) Program grants to enhance state and community capacity to provide and expand evidence-based, supported employment programs to adults with serious mental illness (SMI), including people with co-occurring mental and substance use disorders. Supported employment can help people with SMI participate in the competitive labor market.

It helps them find meaningful jobs and provides ongoing support from a team of professionals. Supported employment occurs within the most integrated and competitive settings that provide individuals with SMI opportunities to live, work, and receive services in the community. The SE program helps people with mental illnesses discover paths of self-sufficiency and recovery, rather than disability and dependence.

Most people with SMI want to work, yet they face significant barriers in finding and keeping jobs, such as: A limited number of jobs in communities Discrimination against people with mental illnesses Limited or compromised executive functioning skills among some consumers that hinder one's ability to perform and attend work Lack of supported employment programs Inadequate transportation With support, they can work in competitive jobs or start their own businesses, enabling them to increase their work activity and earnings over time.

The SE program also seeks to address behavioral health disparities among racial, ethnic, and sexual and gender minorities. It encourages the implementation of strategies to decrease the differences in access, service use, and outcomes among these populations.
