While there is research available about interventions used to support employment of young adults with psychosis, there is little evidence regarding the experience of occupational therapists working in this field and the vocational rehabilitation interventions and practices they use.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A descriptive qualitative study using semi\u2010structured interviews was used to explore the perspectives of occupational therapy practitioners who support young adults experiencing psychosis with employment.

All occupational therapists in this study were providing employment support interventions to young adults experiencing psychosis. These ranged from support with career exploration and job seeking to support with keeping and changing jobs. Thematic analysis generated five themes that characterised their experience including psychosis can make securing employment harder for young adults, young adults' pathways to work, and employment destinations of young adults. Finally, employment support interventions and strategies for young adults experiencing psychosis and the service system context\u2014providers, problems, and possibilities for change were described.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Young adults experiencing psychosis can miss out on the employment support they need when services are not accessible and evidence\u2010based interventions, such as individual placement and support and early intervention, are not available. Occupational therapists prioritise employment when working with young adults experiencing psychosis. Occupational therapists with their person\u2010centred, consumer\u2010directed, and occupation\u2010focussed approach can provide a range of employment support interventions to enable young adults experiencing psychosis to reach their work and career goals.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY<\/jats:title><jats:p>Nine occupational therapists shared how they help young people with psychosis find jobs. Not having transport or work experience can make it hard for young people to work. The occupational therapists talked about how it can be hard to work when you have psychosis. They shared ways to find a job. They shared stories of young people finding their own jobs, starting their own companies or getting jobs from family and friends. Sometimes young people wanted help, and they were having trouble getting someone to help them. Occupational therapists were trying to help young people get a job if they asked for help. For example, they helped young people think about jobs they would like to do and helped them with job applications. Young people need all the services and people they work with to help them with finding and keeping their jobs.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/1440-1630.13015","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,17]],"date-time":"2025-01-17T08:43:07Z","timestamp":1737103387000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Supporting young adults experiencing psychosis with their employment: A qualitative exploration of occupational therapists' experiences"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"72","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8599-0415","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Melissa","family":"Aguey\u2010Zinsou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Disability Research and Policy, Faculty of Medicine and Health The University of Sydney  Sydney New South Wales Australia"},{"name":"Occupational Therapy, School of Allied Health, Faculty of Health Sciences Australian Catholic University  Sydney New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5639-6476","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Justin Newton","family":"Scanlan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Disability Research and Policy, Faculty of Medicine and Health The University of Sydney  Sydney New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9614-1462","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anne","family":"Cusick","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Disability Research and Policy, Faculty of Medicine and Health The University of Sydney  Sydney New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_12_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10597-022-01056-z"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/eip.13440"},{"volume-title":"Manual for the Allen Cognitive Level Screen\u20105 (ACLS\u20105) and Large Allen Cognitive Level Screen\u20105 (LACLS\u20105)","year":"2007","author":"Allen C.
