Brenda was in the early stages of substance abuse recovery when she came to MRS. In addition, she has a Bipolar disorder and was attempting to complete her parole. Even with her many challenges and resulting struggles, Brenda was highly motivated to stabilize her disease of addiction. She understood that this change would allow her to more effectively manage her disability on a dialy basis, leading to an enhanced quality of life. The combination of the MRS guidance and counseling services, along with her follow through with her Individualized Plan for Employment (IPE), resulted in Brenda's active participation in mental health treatment, medications and a 12-step program.
Brenda took advantage of the coaching and job readiness skills as provided by her MRS Counselor. Brenda was placed in a job and as a result of her work performance, by the time her case had closed she had been promoted to a management position. She now serves as a resource to her local MRS office with employment placement opportunities for other customers.
