The purpose of this project is to evaluate a promising peer-run psycho-educational group intervention titled "Vocational Empowerment Photovoice (VEP)" that aims to empower individuals with the most disabling psychiatric disabilities to engage in vocational services and pursue employment through the enhancement of their vocational hope, sense of vocational identity, work motivation, work-related self-efficacy, and capacity to deal with psychiatric stigma and discrimination.

Vocational Empowerment Photovoice (VEP)

The VEP program is a 10-week manualized, structured, peer-led intervention delivered in 2-hour group sessions. The VEP manual includes a Workbook for the clients and a corresponding Leader's Guide for the group peer-leaders. The VEP program integrates Photovoice methodology, Rehabilitation Readiness technology and elements of the Anti-Stigma Photovoice (ASP) curriculum previously developed and tested by the Boston University Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation (BU CPR). VEP group sessions combine didactic information, Photovoice exercises, and group discussions to empower participants in pursuing employment services and opportunities, all refined with input from individuals with a lived experience.
