Our project includes a drop-in center, aggressive outreach, a team specializing in services to people who have substance abuse problems in addition to their mental illness and homelessness, and an employment specialist who will help project participants access vocational services or directly find employment. We will be working very closely with many other agencies. Network Vocational Services Network Vocational Services develop employment opportunities for individuals seeking jobs. Vocational specialists help participants develop work related skills and behaviors necessary to achieve individual vocation objectives. Psychosocial Rehabilitation Psychosocial Rehabilitation through the Network Clubhouse helps members learn skills, form friendships and build confidence.
Members participate in numerous social, cultural and recreational activities in the community, too.
Peer Support Projects are a major Network initiative. We believe that mental health consumer staff are not only capable workers, but they are also great role models. Our Assist Project, which provides extra paraprofessional support to people in need, also employs some consumers. We coordinate a regional program to train consumers as Peer Case Managers.
