Virginia is an Employment First State. We believe everyone can work and contribute meaningfully to their communities– including individuals with developmental disabilities, mental health needs, substance use, or criminal justice involvement. Employment should be the FIRST option people explore before considering other community day services.
DBHDS does NOT provide employment services directly, but we work with other state agencies and community partners to help people with:
- Mga Kapansanan sa Pag-unlad
- Mga pangangailangan sa Kalusugan ng Pag-uugali (BH)
Sinusuportahan namin ang trabaho sa pamamagitan ng:
- Nag-aalok ng pagsasanay at teknikal na tulong sa mga indibidwal, pamilya, provider, at kawani ng ahensya
- Pagtataguyod ng pag-access sa mapagkumpitensyang pinagsamang trabaho
- Pagsubaybay at pag-uulat ng mga rate at kinalabasan ng trabaho sa buong estado
Who Can Benefit from Employment?
Jobs may look different for people with DD or BH needs, but the benefits are the same. Some people may need extra support at work – and that’s okay. People with DD or BH needs can benefit from working just like anyone else. Employment can provide:
- Isang pakiramdam ng layunin at pagpapahalaga sa sarili
- Kalayaan
- Katatagan sa pananalapi
- Kalusugan at kagalingan
Sa pamamagitan ng tamang trabaho at mga suporta sa karapatan, ang trabaho ay maaaring maging isang positibong bahagi ng buhay ng sinuman!
What Services are Available?
Habang ang DBHDS ay hindi nagbibigay ng mga serbisyo nang direkta, nakikipagtulungan kami sa:
- Kagawaran ng Edukasyon ng Virginia (VDOE)
- Ang Kagawaran ng Mga Serbisyo sa Pagtanda at Rehabilitasyon ng Virginia (DARS)
- Mga Programa ng DBHDS
Kabilang sa mga serbisyong ito ang:
Paano Maaaring Magmukhang Trabaho
Even though work may look differently for someone with DD or BH needs – their rights are the same as everyone else, and they should be treated the same. Employment should be:
- Sa isang komunidad sa isang trabaho, pinipili ng tao
- Makatarungang suweldo at katumbas ng iba na gumagawa ng katulad na trabaho na may katulad na background
- Inclusive at integrated, na may mga pagkakataon na makipag-ugnay sa mga katrabaho kapwa sa lipunan at sa mga aktibidad na may kaugnayan sa trabaho
- Growth-oriented, with opportunities to learn and advance
Ang pinakamahusay na paraan upang suportahan ang isang tao ay upang makilala sila - kung ano ang nasisiyahan sila, kung ano ang magaling sila - at magsimula ng isang pag-uusap tungkol sa trabaho at kasalukuyan at / o hinaharap na mga layunin na may kaugnayan sa trabaho.
Not everyone will want to work in a traditional job working for someone else. Your job might also look different if you choose to work for yourself. If you do choose to start your own business or even work as an entrepreneur, you can receive employment support to help you.
Pagpaplano ng Mga Benepisyo
Sometimes people worry that working will impact their Social Security or other benefits they need to live. It’s important to know that you CAN work without your benefits being impacted.
There are professionals who can help you learn what to do if you want to work and protect your benefits, and the rules that you must follow. These professionals are certified as either a WISA (Work Incentive Specialist Advocate) or WIPA (Work Incentive Planning and Assistance). Both can provide you with important information about work and benefits planning.
