PIN: 22AZ004801R0X00 In response to a lack of supports to help people with serious mental illness (SMI) get admitted to and graduate from formal education programs in order to pursue a career goal, Blueprint (Recovery Center) began to offer education support services in May, 2015. Many of the individuals who can benefit from Blueprint’s services have faced considerable barriers to academic goal attainment which are compounded with correlated economic consequences. Individuals living with serious mental illness often experience a disruption in their education process, creating additional employment obstacles and leading individuals to accept low-paying jobs with few of the necessary benefits to maintain long-term wellness. Blueprint’s education support services will address both systemic and personal barriers to education with a focus on skill development to improve future vocational and career outcomes. The Blueprint team is mobile and offers services in the community, including local campuses, to meet participant needs.
