Links to Employment Program
CMHA is wrapping up the Vernon Links to Employment project connected with community mental health and health services there. The program in Vernon is no longer accepting referrals. Clients currently being served will be transitioned to other appropriate employment services based on their individual needs and goals over the next month.
The Links to Employment project, funded by the Ministry of Social Development and Poverty Reduction, initiated in 2020 and focuses on individualized and strength–based services for people with persistent and multiple barriers to employment. This novel supported employment program is a time limited project. CMHA has greatly valued the community partnerships and opportunity to meaningfully support the participants this program has served, and we thank you for all you have done to support the program.
