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.

Since its inception in 1981, the True Experience Community Work Program has proved invaluable vocational training, skills development and much needed employment opportunities to individuals throughout or community living with mental illness. Our work program is partially funded by Ontario Health and provides our clients with a fair wage that builds self-esteem and an incredible work ethic all in a supportive fully supervised environment.
