View Award Description

The Reclaiming Employment Journey: An RCT of Business Coaching and Education for Self-Employed Individuals with Psychiatric Disabilities - Live & Learn, Inc., in partnership with Stakeholder Advisory Consultants will, over the course of this three-year project, implement and test personalized business coaching as an addition to the existing Reclaiming Employment platform using evidence-based business coaching and peer support practices. Reclaiming Employment is an interactive online platform that supports people with psychiatric disabilities to pursue self-employment/entrepreneurship through flexible, self-paced courses, a library of curated business resources, and a community support forum. The goal of this project is to perform a three-arm randomized control trial to ensure that a more intensive, individualized model of business start-up support is justified before scaling up. The objectives are: 1) Refine the intervention design based on findings from the pilot study; 2) Conduct a randomized controlled trial to test the intervention components; and 3) Analyze and disseminate results to vocational/mental health stakeholders. Anticipated outcomes include measurable improvement to employment outcomes for individuals with psychiatric disabilities by developing an evidence-based model of peer-to-peer business coaching that can be adopted by the target population and service systems. The expected products are scholarly publications and accessible lay-person summaries of our findings, and a business coaching curriculum that can be used to train peer specialists and/or vocational rehabilitation providers.
