Just as a larva transforms into a butterfly, Chrysalis helps people with mental illness transition into the workforce.  Much like a cocoon, Chrysalis supports and nurtures its clients to prepare them for employment by providing customized work services and training opportunities.  The Chrysalis approach is client-centered and collaborative.  Chrysalis focuses on fostering employment solutions that enable our clients to grow and thrive.

 

Our Mission

Chrysalis provides individualized vocational and work-related services to persons in our community who have mental illnesses.

Our Programs

Chrysalis is comprised of two core programs.

The Supported Employment Program is available for individuals who are seeking community-based competitive employment.  The program offers services such as vocational skills assessments, assistance with the job search process, initial on-the-job training, and ongoing support.

The facility based volunteer Work Center Program provides consumers with scheduled work experience, daily structure, assistance with work-related skills, and an opportunity to improve social skills.  Consumers complete bulk mailing projects for local non-profit organizations throughout Dane County at no cost.
