At the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, the Illinois Institute for Rehabilitation and Employment Research (IIRER) is a hub for innovation and discovery that addresses vocational behavior, community integration, career development, and employment. Partnering with communities in Illinois and around the world, IIRER is continuously innovating ways to enhance the skills of rehabilitation professionals.

On June 20th, the institute will host its Symposium on Mental Health and Work, providing a unique opportunity for professionals in Illinois and surrounding areas to enhance their knowledge and skills in serving clients with mental health and other health conditions.

The intersection of mental health, work, and disability is a crucial area for researchers and practitioners. Dr. Xiaolei Tang and Dr. David Strauser took the time to share some information about the Symposium and indicate why this type of training is crucial to improving clinical practices.
