Supported Employment

How can a Support Employment Specialist help? 

Friends to Family has embraced the initiative to innovate in job support. We've committed to truly understanding our participants and placing them in fields that mirror their aspirations and desires. Through a person-centered approach, we strike a balance between dreams and realities. What does this entail? For instance, if someone aspires to be a veterinarian but lacks the qualifications, we concentrate on identifying which aspect of that dream resonates most with them.
