WORK Informational Presentations
Working Healthy staff can travel to various regions throughout the state to
provide information about WORK to community agencies. If your staff works
directly with consumers in case management positions (Independent Living
Counselors, Service Coordinators, etc.) they would benefit the most from
this information. We have a presentation and then can facilitate questions
and
discussion about this new opportunity. If you would like more information
about WORK and/or how to schedule a WORK presentation in your area, please
contact your local Benefits Specialist or contact
Nancy Scott at (785) 291-3461.
