EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT

AHP works with the federal government, states, and nonprofit organizations to develop or enhance employment programs for people with disabilities and disadvantages by building a culture that supports employment, enhancing capacity to provide employment, and creating opportunities to expand employment. For example:

• AHP developed consensus and implemented supported employment programs for people with serious mental illnesses in two underserved New York communities.

• AHP conducted on-site employment training programs in California for providers of services to people with serious mental illnesses/co-occurring disorders who are homeless. The company also convened and moderated a statewide Web-based distance learning program on developing social enterprises for these individuals.

• AHP provided training and technical assistance to help a large Florida mental health provider establish rehabilitation and recovery-based employment programs.
