CCBH Presents: One of the first things we ask when meeting someone new is “What do you do?”; however, a serious mental health condition or substance use disorder may impact the ability to work or continue working. This webinar will review how addressing and supporting employment can be an integral part of a person’s recovery journey. It will provide an overview of how recovery is most effective when individuals actively participate in their treatment. The recovery model empowers individuals to make decisions about their own lives and mental health. There will be a discussion around the therapeutic effects of work on mental illness. Hence acknowledging that individuals with serious mental health conditions can successfully work, contributing to their recovery process. Resources to support people in their journey to work will be shared and discussed.
