Day Services

In FY 2009, CHS added supported employment and day supports to our services. Services are home based and individually designed to meet each individual’s specific goals.

• Supervised by our Program Development Coordinator and staff of day service specialists, this program uses a psychosocial service model that includes recreational, civic, volunteer, career exploration, work training and job placement activities.
• The curriculum is designed to enhance self-esteem, promote positive behavior management, teach social and communication skills, encourage volunteerism and educate individuals relative to accessing and using community based recreation and leisure programs.
• Activities include group and individual counseling, job exploration and volunteer work in local, private non-profit organizations, development of career plans and participating in cultural, educational, recreational and leisure activities in the community.

The Cooperative for Human Services emphasizes provision of creative activities that teach new and varied skills in communication, sensory-motor, activities of daily living, health and safety, exercise and nutrition. Activities include a broad range of typical adult activities for daily living, social relationships and job readiness.
