Our True Experience Community Work Program focuses on our client’s abilities and makes customizable work days to increase self-esteem and the feeling of accomplishment. With flexible hours, half days when required and constant supervision, our work program employees learn valuable skills, hands on training and responsibility. Participating in the work program crew increases one’s sense of belonging and helps to decrease the stigma of working while living with mental illness and provides a sense of community and fulfillment.
