Our Mission Chrysalis provides individualized vocational and work-related services to persons in our community who have mental illnesses. Our Vision Chrysalis supports recovery by enabling consumers to have the opportunity for work activity that fulfills each individual’s needs and aspirations, and promotes hope, healing, and empowerment. Our Programs Chrysalis is comprised of two core programs. 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. 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.
