Mental illness is responsible for a loss of potential labour supply, high rates of unemployment, and a high incidence of sickness absence and reduced productivity at work. This report aims to investigate the connection between mental health and work, and the drivers behind the labour market outcomes and the level of inactivity of people with mental ill-health. It also reviews the evidence on the main challenges and barriers to better integrating people with mental illness in the world of work. The report advocates a new approach in the workplace, which includes good working conditions which reduce and manage stress; systematic monitoring of sick leave behaviour; and help to employers to reduce workplace conflicts and avoid unnecessary dismissal caused by mental health problems.

Based on a conservative estimate, 2228 people with an intellectual disability (ID) in Northern Ireland, 958 children and 1270 adults, are likely to have behaviours that challenge others. These people require significant input from services to maintain them in their own home. This report provides a review of literature in order to inform practice with 2 groups of people with IDs. The aim is to identify the supports that are required for these client populations to enable them to live in their own homes as far as is possible and to live dignified meaningful lives. Firstly, the review considers the evidence in relation to people with an ID who challenge and may have comorbid mental health problems. For this group the review considers: supporting living; day opportunities; family support; and other interventions or services that have an evidence-base applicable across settings. Secondly, the review looks at the evidence in relation to people with ID who are reaching old age and in many cases are being cared for by older caregiving family members. This is a new area of research, since more people with ID are now living into old age. For this group the review focuses on: health; aging in place; succession planning; formal service provision; and use of mainstream services. Recommendations are made in relation to practice, education and future research focused on clients, family caregivers and formal service providers.
