Work provides benefits to all of us, beyond the obvious benefit of a paycheck. It gives structure to our days, can boost self-esteem, and provides income that affords us more choices. It also offers opportunities to be a part of, and give back to, our community. Employment is a vital part of supporting individuals to gain greater independence, experience more social inclusion, resiliency and recovery, live more self-determined lives and build social capital. Join us for “Creating a Culture of Employment” to learn how you can incorporate employment into the work you do with the individuals you serve. This training will draw from tools such as Motivational Interviewing and Stages of Change and evidence-base supported employment and give you tools to develop or enhance a culture of employment in the services you provide to people. Registration fee includes a continental breakfast and light lunch.
