Training - Introduction to Supported Employment
Supported employment is an evidence-based practice as deemed by SAMHSA. This approach emphasizes competitive work in the community and provides supports necessary to ensure success in the workplace. We will introduce the basic principles of Supported Employment and help you to think about "What can you do to help someone to choose, get and keep employment?".
Provider staff, family members, key supporters and community members are all welcome.
