with mental illness

   
   
 

 

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

Work Center Program Information
Chrysalis' facility based program is a work site that provides low-stress opportunities for people to gain work experience, enhance social interaction, and increase meaningful day structure.
Work is supplied by area nonprofit organizations and is completed by Chrysalis volunteers as a community service, free of charge. The work involves various bulk mail tasks (e.g. folding, collating, labeling, sorting) and packet assembly.
* The only criterion to participate in our program is that you must have a primary mental health (Axis I) diagnosis. If you are eligible, our staff will work with you to develop a schedule and a plan to meet your individual needs. Chrysalis works to ensure that our consumers have a meaningful work day that includes structure, social engagement and a positive and encouraging environment. The Work Center program is available to our consumers at no charge. We look forward to working with you.
Work Center hours:
Monday - Friday
9:00-2:30

"It makes me feel worthwhile, someone out there receives our mail and that makes me feel good." -Chrysalis Work Center Volunteer

Through community and facility based programs, staff members provide continuous supervision and support to consumers while maintaining contact with the support systems in their life.
