This two-week workshop series is designed to help participants understand the barriers to economic mobility, boldly empower them to feel that they have the ability to change their circumstances, form strong, positive connections with staff and peers, and introduce them to the full range of resources available at Rubicon that will help them to realize their personal goals. Each participant is assigned to work with an Impact Coach who will be their primary relationship at Rubicon. The Impact Coach and participant will work together for up to three years. Over the course of their work together, the Impact Coach will help the participant to access the services needed to support their continued success. WELLNESS SERVICES STAFF Davita Dorsey Wellness Coach, Antioch Kimi Barnes Health Resource Manager Kellisha Moore Wellness Coach, Richmond Impact Coach The Impact Coach is the primary relationship between the participant and Rubicon. Each participant is assigned an Impact Coach who will provide support and guidance for the duration of their work with Rubicon. While our Impact Coaches perform many of the same duties as a traditional case manager, the position is unique because we see this relationship as the primary intervention that will unlock a participant's full potential. Our Impact Coaches are trained in motivational interviewing, trauma-informed care principles, and bring, on average, five to seven years of counseling and case management experience to the position.

The Health Resource Manager oversees all internal services and provides leadership on curriculum development and staff training.
