People with mental or physical health difficulties experience higher risks of unemployment, absenteeism and lower levels of productivity at work (NICE, 2009a). Being in a ‘good’ job can help maintain or facilitate recovery from mental or physical illness (Modini et al., 2016) – for example, providing opportunities to establish life-routines (Chapter 11), achieve a sense of self-worth or value and income. Questions to address current employment status and attitudes to work may therefore help identify if supporting employment opportunities may be helpful alongside LICBT interventions to further facilitate recovery from mental health difficulties and enhance mental wellbeing. Within the IAPT programme this approach is enhanced through the Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner working collaboratively with an employment advisor (NCCMH, 2018).
