Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate a job retention service intended to support GPs in preventing unemployment among patients with mental health problems. Interviews with job retention clients, their employers and case managers were carried out. A group interview with GPs was also conducted. Client-focused interventions were reported to be helpful by clients and GPs and employer-focused interventions were appreciated by both clients and employers. All clients attributed positive outcomes to the service. In conclusion, these preliminary results support the further development and evaluation of job retention services.
