They will share the history of Employment Collaborative development and the profound impact it has had on matching job seekers with disabilities to meaningful employment. It is a three-way win: the job seeker becomes employed; the employer has access to qualified employees; and the providers help their job seekers to be successful - all occurring in an efficient exchange. Presenters will describe how the Collaboratives function, challenges that occurred, elements of success, and how trust is developed and maintained. They will address what it has meant to persons with mental health conditions in particular. ________________________________ Register for the FREE webinar series! ________________________________ The contents of this project were developed under a grant with funding from the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research, and from the Center for Mental Health Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, United States Department of Health and Human Services (NIDILRR grant 90RT5029-01-00).
