Workforce Development

$240,000 (over three years)

to expand a trauma-informed workforce model that integrates behavioral health, peer recovery, and occupational training to help adults overcome barriers to long-term employment. Funding will sustain cohort-based training programs that equip participants for careers in fields such as healthcare, childcare, and peer recovery, supported by case management, stipends, and integrated behavioral health services. By pairing technical instruction with holistic support, the program seeks to help participants build confidence, resilience, and lasting career success.
