Successful Employment Program (SEP)
S.E.P. assists young adults who are dealing with mental health issues to become competitively employed in the community and to reach their maximum vocational potential. This involves, but is not limited to, vocational assessments, teaching job search skills, training around entitlements, job coaching and interview support. S.E.P also offers weekly peer groups and monthly social activities for members.
As all of us that work with young adults know, this is a topic that comes up over and over again as we look to assist young adults in transitioning to great independence. Whether they are currently planing to begin the process or will be in the future, the information they will receive in this workshop will be invaluable. Please encourage any young adults that you work with to attend this workshop.
If you or any young adults have any questions about the workshop, please don't hesitate to contact Michelle and I.

Transition Resources
And Community Supports (TRACS)
TRACS offers multiple opportunities for young adults and their families to receive support and establish meaning, connection and purpose in their lives. This is done in a strengths-based, young adult-centered, culturally sensitive manner within the young adults' community. TRACS focuses on aspects of young adults' lives that are easily overlooked such as relationships, wellness, spirituality, family, employment, recreation and more.
A key component of TRACS is the inclusion of young adult peer mentors on staff. The peer mentors offer their firsthand experiences of living with and overcoming mental health issues to support and assist the young adults they are teamed up with on their road to recovery.
