Institutional work aimed at increasing employment orientation in mental health services

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

The importance of employment in recovery from mental health illness has led to broad recognition of the integration of employment-oriented support into mental health treatment. However, there is variation in the extent to which an employment orientation permeates healthcare services. This article explores how managers and advisors in health and welfare services in Norway function as "change agents", who work to increase an employment orientation in mental health services.
