I’m exploring the possibility of work.

Get Started: Congratulations on taking the first big step! We understand this can be both exciting and unknown. We at PA Health & Wellness are here to support you along the way.

Tap In: Know you do not have to do this alone and you do not need to have it all figured out. Not only can you lean on your family and friends, but there is also a whole network here to help now and throughout your employment journey.

Action Items:

Have you shared your desire to explore work with your Service Coordinator (SC)? Connect with your SC and work on creating a plan together, which will include adding a goal to your service plan. Adding a goal can be as simple as exploring the possibility of work and detailing what this means. Goals can be revised and removed at any time.

What do you need to help make an informed decision about working? Discuss these needs with your Service Coordinator. 

  • Benefits Counseling is helpful in feeling more confident.  
  • Is it knowing you have support? We’re here! At PA Health & Wellness, we are here to support how we can. Need support having the conversation with loved ones? Let us know. 
  • Is it knowing your rights? Visit Resources.
  • Is it knowing what you want to do? The best way is to work with your Service Coordinator to connect to services. That’s right – You can access services to help you explore the possibilities! From connecting with businesses to learn more to finding out assistive technology and other accommodations on the job, there are supports.
  • Talk with your Service Coordinator about being referred to PA Office of Vocational Rehabilitation (OVR) and be sure OVR connects you with benefits counseling too.

Not sure what you need to feel confident in working? Let’s continue the conversation and connect you with benefits counseling.
