Employment Support

At Work/Au Travail Employment Program

The At Work/Au Travail Employment Program follows the Individual Placement and Support model which is an evidence-based best practice approach. It is designed to provide specialized vocational assistance to those seeking opportunities to enter or reintegrate into the workforce.

Our goal is to help people obtain competitive employment through the development of an achievable action plan, coupled with the practice of coping skills and mental wellness.  We work alongside you throughout the process to ensure your personal success.

If you live within the Haliburton Kawartha Pine Ridge region, are 16 or older and are living with a mental health concern, contact us today to start your journey.

For more information, call 705-748-6711 extension 2110 or email atworkprogram@cmhahkpr.ca.

Mental Health Employment Support Consultant Program

Mental Health Employment Support Consultants work collaboratively with employment agencies within the Muskoka-Kawartha region through the delivery of mental health consultation, group facilitation and informational sessions related to vocational supports and services to help complex clients with mental health concerns find and maintain competitive employment. Consultative supports focus on symptom management, mental health interventions and distress tolerance/coping strategies. Informational sessions may include general information about mental illness, stigma, harm reduction and mental wellness management. Staff also provide assertive outreach to connect clients who require support with effective referrals and facilitated access to community based mental health supports.
