Recovery is Work. Work is Recovery!
Work has proven to be an essential part of recovery. Since 1987, the AltaPointe Supported Employment program has been helping individuals enter or re-engage with the workforce through competitive employment. We have also been cultivating employers that want to be a part of the program and share in the success. For our Supported Employment team, assisting individuals seeking work is only one part of the process. The team also works closely with local businesses. The support structure is designed to counsel the employee and assist employers with any questions or concerns for the duration of the employment.
“We believe work is an integral part of recovery, and a means for many of our patients to maintain wellness. Through our supported employment services, we have been able to help countless individuals achieve competitive employment, therefore, improving their quality of life,” Tuerk Schlesinger, AltaPointe Health CEO.
