Information About Your Benefits
You may be worried that working will affect your benefits, such as Social Security and Medicaid. The Supported Employment Specialist can help you in obtaining accurate information about benefit programs that allow you to continue to receive benefits, or partial benefits, even when you are working.
Supported Employment Starts with You
The program does not force you to work. If you want to work, you will be given the supports and services to help you make your career goals a possibility. Working part-time is also your choice.
The Supported Employment Specialists at Greater Nashua Mental Health will help you find a job that fits your needs rather than a job that you have to fit into. It is your decision how long you continue to work with the Supported Employment Specialists after you have a job.
