With medications that improve cognition and advances in knowledge of successful rehabilitative approaches, adults with psychiatric disabilities are increasingly able to pursue desired personal and career goals in their communities. This article focuses on supported education (SEd) -- one of the newest psychosocial rehabilitation (PSR) models for adults with mental illness. The mission, principles, and service components of SEd are presented, reflecting its basis in PSR practice. Evidence of the effectiveness of supported education, based on research and evaluation studies, is provided. The authors conclude with a discussion of why PSR and SEd are important to social work and how social workers can effectively use this evidence-based practice to maximize opportunities for consumers with a mental illness.
