Young adults with mental health problems often experience obstacles in completing education or getting and keeping work. As these are natural pathways in transitioning into adulthood and gaining independence there is a need to provide educational and vocational support. Two methods are Individual Placement and Support (IPS) and Supported Education (SEd) with a focus on individuals capabilities and goals. Apart from helping people become self-sufficient, they have shown positive outcomes such as higher quality of life and mental health recovery. Despite strong evidence and IPS being a recommended intervention in Sweden few organizations have implemented it. Mental health problems are costly for the society in terms of need for support but also in individual suffering and marginalization. It is therefore important to explore the reasoning for offering this support in a Swedish welfare context and how these interventions can help young adults with mental health problems to a sustainable work life and better mental health. The aim of the study is to explore and describe the perspectives and strategies of managers in social- and healthcare organizations in offering support to young adults with mental health problems who wish to study or work. Qualiative semi-structured interviews are conducted with middle management in organizations providing support through IPS and SEd. The interviews focus on the perspectives from their role as managers and are analysed using qualitative content analysis. Preliminary results show that even in sites working with IPS for a long time with good results, many rely on external financing for implementing educational support. IPS and SEd builds on co-operation with other welfare actors and this often poses a difficulty , but support and co-operation within their own organization seems to be the most important factor for being able to offer vocational and educational support.
