Adrienne Lapidos Awarded Poverty Solutions Grant

Assistant Research Scientist and LEO Lecturer Adrienne Lapidos' project, "Can Peer Support Specialists Deliver Technology-Based Job Interview Training for People with Psychiatric Disabilities? An Assessment of Community Needs and Priorities" was awarded a Poverty Solutions grant. SSW, in partnership with Michigan Peer Specialists United, will conduct an evaluation of community needs, priorities and views to explore the potential for Certified Peer Support Specialists to deliver a virtual reality job interview training program designed for people with psychiatric disabilities, especially in nontraditional "consumer-centered" spaces such as clubhouses and consumer-run drop-in centers.
