Work is a major component of how people define themselves: "I am a writer; I am a carpenter; a gardener, a salesman."  Whatever we do, it becomes part of who we are.  Life Skills Village makes a  effort to see that clients who wish to return to work are afforded every opportunity.

The process begins with goal-setting. When a client wants to work and needs direction, Life Skills Village can help with career assessments and counseling in a realistic direction. Meanwhile, our therapists help clients develop the transferable skills needed to performthe job.  Like being on time. Completing tasks accurately. Showing courtesy.

​Many clients have the opportunity to work or volunteer for businesses within the community
with a job coach while they build their endurance and develop the functional skills required
for their new career.
