Supported Employment services provide job development, job coaching, and ongoing employment support to individuals with a mental illness. These individualized services are provided to enable an individual to choose, maintain, or advance within independent competitive employment. Work opportunities are provided within a community-integrated work setting, consistent with the client's interests, preferences, and skills. Supported Employment staff provide training in the areas of resume writing, job search and job application, and resolving employment conflicts. On-going support includes: vocational counseling/advocacy, communication between employer and employee, community integration and support with co-worker integration.
WHERE DO WE PROVIDE SERVICES?
Qualified staff meet with clients in home or community settings, as well as on the job site.
