PIN: 22AZ004601R0X00 Community Links will service adults with SMI providing support for those who wish to start formal education, including TASC preparation, and post-secondary education – including vocational training and higher education (college) – and also for those currently enrolled in an education program wanting additional support. The program’s services will assist students in overcoming barriers commonly faced by students with psychiatric disabilities including stigma from students or instructors, educating faculty and staff about mental health conditions and barriers, information and advocacy accessing necessary accommodations, collaboration with treatment providers to support pursuit of post-secondary education goals, and negotiating the benefits and risks of disclosure. The program will address these obstacles through advocacy, outreach, goal planning, academic skill building, resource attainment and promoting the value of education goals as part of the recovery process.
