Black young adults with serious mental illnesses (SMI) have low rates of employment and school completion. Racial disparities exist in the delivery of vocational services, with Black people less likely to be screened in, and if screened in less likely to receive job training. This qualitative exploratory study examined how Black young adults with SMI perceive the barriers and facilitators to achieving their vocational goals.
