Columbia River Mental
Health Services sees record job placements
Clearview Employment Services, a department of Columbia River Mental
Health Services, has placed a record number of people in new jobs.
Since July 1, forty-two new jobs were created and staffed, with ten
of these in the last three days.
CRMHS’ job developers work with a network of local employers to
identify and tailor jobs for a specific client, then work with each
individual client, preparing and training him or her for success.
Often, the job developer will accompany the new employee at the job
site to ensure that both employee and employer are a good match.
Misty Bruun, program manager,
says that: “over the years we have found that having a job is one of
the key parts of recovery from mental health issues. We are pleased
that our clients’ success also helps our local economy recover.
It’s a homegrown stimulus package where everybody wins."
