Employment Assistance is available to all case managed clients. The employment assistance program, “CHANCES” offers assistance needed for the clients to enter the work force or enter a job skills program that will enhance current skills or provide new ones.
The Program links the client with confidential employment services and job skills training programs, which will assess their qualifications and skills and link them with the program or employer that best meets their needs. Programs chosen will be flexible and sensitive to clients’ individual needs to ensure success.
“CHANCES” gives clients the control of their destiny in the work force and provides them with the support needed to succeed. No disability should stop an individual from improving their quality of life and being self-sufficient.
Additionally, free legal assistance will be made available to ensure that any current or future employer will maintain the highest level of sensitivity and confidentiality. No employer needs to know an individual’s HIV status.
Evergreen Health Services’ Immigrant and Refugee Services.
Foreign born individuals and families face unique barriers when attempting to access an array of services, particularly health care and supportive services. To address these challenges, Evergreen Health Services has created a unique partnership with the International Institute of Buffalo www.iibuff.org. In this partnership EHS and the International Institute have developed a “co-case management” model to assist immigrant and refugee individuals and families in accessing critical services for those facing the challenges of HIV/AIDS.
Lack of understanding or mistrust of “the system”, cultural and language disparities, and a host of other individual challenges are dealt with compassionately and efficiently through this collaborative effort. Immigrant and refugee individuals and families have access to all programs and services offered by Evergreen Health Services and the International Institute.
Individuals and families in need of assistance can access these services either through an initial contact with the International Institute of Buffalo or through Evergreen Health Services. For more information call 716-847-2441 or stop by EHS’ central office at 206 South Elmwood Avenue in Buffalo, NY.
