Navigate Life Texas: Resources for kids with disabilities and special needs
The four core programs address issues job seekers have with significant or multiple barriers to employment. Some barriers are bigger than others, but being aware of the ones that are blocking progress in our clients’ lives is an important step in overcoming them. Barriers can include, but are not limited to:
Provide an array of support activities such as workforce development, general education, counseling, case management, job readiness services, and disaster relief assistance.
In addition to the above activities, our agency offers a variety of employment-related support services such as enrichment classes including GED exam preparation, and American Sign Language (ASL) for persons who are deaf or hearing-impaired.
Aim to educate clients on the various soft skills needed in acquiring and maintaining a job and assist with acquiring employment. To that end, we partner with vocational schools, trade schools, colleges, and community colleges to help educate our clients while providing them an opportunity to gain a skill or trade.
Main population demographics include those disadvantaged by homelessness, disabilities, older age, ex-offender status, returning veteran status, substance abuse disorder, and those with other significant barriers to employment.
CRR leaders and staff see job placement as the most creative and permanent way for individuals to remain intact and to stay away from a cycle of poverty for themselves and their families.
Career and Recovery has four core program areas.
1) Employment and Career Development
2) Veteran & Housing Assistance
3) Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services
4) Alternative Substance Abuse Treatment
While some clients receive a single, one-time service (such as their youth career education outreach presentations), other clients receive in-depth drug treatment counseling services that typically last over three months in length and involve more than 50 hours of group and individual counseling.
