"Working together works well!"
Daniel, an Employment Counsellor for the TREES Project, has been part of the team for nearly two years. After coming on board, he designed a marketing campaign to promote the project. It became immediately evident that there was a great demand for supported employment in Colchester East Hants. Similar to many of his clients, Daniel continues to pursue his education and career goals while living with a bi-polar disorder. Based on his personal and professional experience, he brings first hand knowledge of success of supported employment. He is passionate about extending similar opportunities to all persons living with a psychiatric disability!

Since forming a partnership with LakeCity Employment, in 2005, the on-site support offered by the CMHA staff has played a significant role in the success of the TREES Project. Many referrals and service provider contacts have come through the CMHA, as well as day to day guidance in providing appropriate services to the TREES clients. Thank you CMHA!
