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:
- የእድገት እክል
- የባህርይ ጤና (BH) ፍላጎቶች
ሥራን የምንደግፈው በ፡
- ለግለሰቦች፣ ቤተሰቦች፣ አቅራቢዎች እና የኤጀንሲው ሰራተኞች ስልጠና እና የቴክኒክ ድጋፍ መስጠት
- የተቀናጀ የተቀናጀ የሥራ ስምሪት ተደራሽነትን ማሳደግ
- የስቴት አቀፍ የስራ ዋጋዎችን እና ውጤቶችን መከታተል እና ሪፖርት ማድረግ
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:
- የዓላማ እና በራስ የመተማመን ስሜት
- ነፃነት
- የፋይናንስ መረጋጋት
- ጤና እና ደህንነት
ትክክለኛ ስራ እና የመብት ድጋፎች ሲኖሩ ስራ የማንም ሰው ህይወት አዎንታዊ አካል ሊሆን ይችላል!
What Services are Available?
DBHDS አገልግሎቶችን በቀጥታ ባይሰጥም፣ ከሚከተሉት ጋር እንሰራለን፡-
እነዚህ አገልግሎቶች የሚከተሉትን ያካትታሉ:
የሥራ ስምሪት እንዴት ሊታይ ይችላል?
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:
- በማህበረሰቡ ውስጥ በአንድ ሥራ ውስጥ ሰውዬው ይመርጣል
- በትክክል የሚከፈል እና ከሌሎች ተመሳሳይ ዳራ ጋር ተመሳሳይ ስራ ከሚሰሩ ጋር እኩል ነው።
- አካታች እና የተዋሃዱ፣ ከስራ ባልደረቦች ጋር በማህበራዊ እና ከስራ ጋር በተያያዙ እንቅስቃሴዎች ውስጥ የመገናኘት እድሎች
- Growth-oriented, with opportunities to learn and advance
አንድን ሰው ለመደገፍ በጣም ጥሩው መንገድ እነሱን ማወቅ - ምን እንደሚደሰት፣ ምን ጥሩ እንደሆነ ማወቅ እና ስለ ሥራ እና ስለ ወቅታዊ እና/ወይም ስለወደፊት ከስራ ስምሪት ጋር የተያያዙ ግቦችን ማውራት መጀመር ነው።
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.
የጥቅማ ጥቅሞች እቅድ ማውጣት
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.
