Online Technical Assistance Response (OTAR) for Employment Service Providers

The Center for Psychiatric Rehabilitation is offering an online technical assistance service to organizations wishing to strengthen vocational recovery and employment services to people in mental health recovery. As a component of the Center's National Resource Center of Employment and Vocational Recovery, the service will be offered at no expense to the organization. The project is funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration and the National Institute on Disability and Independent Living Research and Rehabilitation.

The technical assistance will be provided through webinars, conference calls, and email. More than one technical assistance topic may be addressed and ongoing technical assistance activities will be provided for up to one year after establishing the initial goal. After conclusion of the technical assistance, the organization completes a brief online evaluation survey. To learn more about the service or to begin the technical assistance process, contact: Rick Forbess, Project Director, at: rforbess at bu.edu<mailto:rforbess at bu.edu>
