Recently, Vocational Rehabilitation, the Missouri Department of Mental Health, and the Eastern Region Alliance (SB40 Boards) came together to provide a joint training for our region. The session helped clarify employment service options and explained how different funding sources can work in tandem to support individuals with developmental disabilities.
We had 140 attendees, including support coordinators from Developmental Disabilities Resource Board, Developmental Disability Advocates, DD Resources, the Center for Human Services - Missouri, the Missouri Division of Developmental Disabilities, and vocational counselors from Vocational Rehabilitation.
This kind of collaboration is essential to improving employment outcomes and strengthening the system of support in our region. We’re grateful for these strong partnerships and look forward to continuing this impactful work together.
