Administration for Allocation of Social Welfare, City of Gothenburg, operates five day care centers, Aktivitetshusen, that caters to people with mental illness and mental disabilities aged 18-65. The centers are situated in Hisingen, two in the North East, the Centre and the West of Gothenburg and are for those who seek support and guidance to work and study, meaningful employment and social community, but also for those who want the structure of everyday life. It is also a place for those who want to break the isolation and join a context and meet with others. In 2014 the centres in West of Gothenburg prepared a feasibility study regarding how activities could be developed hence to creating meaningful employment with the help of the methodology Individual Placement and Support (IPS) for young people and together build up an e-commerce. The aim with the project is to support young adults in the age between 18 to 35 years old with mental illness and disabilities to find a path to work or studies, and an independent life. The project intends to develop and implement the use of the IPS in a Swedish context. Characteristic of the IPS is that the participant does not implement any preparatory rehabilitation or assessment of their work before the actual job search starts. Instead the participant's work is assessed where he or she is required to work. In addition to support from an IPS-specialist coordinated with the psychiatric team, there are also collaboration with labor specialist, the participant's personal networks, employers, as well as with the Social Insurance Agency and the Employment Service. Administration for Allocation for Social Welfare is a strong actor linked to the extensive work to reduce inequality in living conditions and health. Efforts to reduce inequality takes place in cooperation with other regions and cities, nationally and transnational, and is clearly linked to overcoming the disparities within regions linked to the Europe 2020 strategy. The project promotes transnational collaboration through partnerships and collaboration related to the development of the IPS methodology with a partner organization in the UK. The project will also continue its cooperation with partner organizations in Slovenia and involve participants, which promote young people's mobility. Administration for Allocation for Social Welfare are active in a number of different networks with representatives from the agencies such as the Employment Service and the Social Insurance Agency as well as with municipalities in the region, managers and management teams together with the districts of Gothenburg. The project is thus given the opportunity to jointly develop the use of IPS, and dissemination occurs naturally in the existing network. This development influence on structures on the basis that the implementation of the recommended approach is expected to increase and thus affected the existing structures. Administration for Allocation for Social Welfare has a clear strategy for international development where the EU-funded project is a natural component which strengthens the possibilities for method development and implementation. From past experience, regular information is a key to keeping life in active ownership. The project is a structured way of informing and involving both managers and employees. (Swedish)
