Before someone is ready to show up confidently at a job, they often need support with the “life stuff” and the “work stuff” that no one ever really taught them. Our Life & Work Readiness services bridge that gap with practical, judgment-free coaching.
What We Focus On
- Building daily routines that make getting to work realistic, not chaotic.
- Time management, planning, and setting priorities.
- Communication skills: talking with supervisors, coworkers, and customers.
- Boundaries and self-advocacy: saying “I need help” or “that doesn’t work for me.”
- Emotional regulation, stress, and anxiety tools for the workplace.
- Basic workplace expectations (attendance, dress, cell phone use, etc.).
How It Works
- Goal Setting: We identify what “work ready” looks like for you—not for someone else.
- Skill-Building Sessions: We use coaching, practice, role-playing, and real-world scenarios.
- Real-Life Application: We connect learning to actual environments: home, community, and eventually the job site.
- Ongoing Support: As you transition into employment, we keep supporting the skills that matter most.
Who Benefits Most
- Young adults transitioning from school to work.
- Adults returning to the workforce after a break, health challenge, or major life event.
- Individuals who feel overwhelmed by expectations or “unspoken rules” at work.
Our Approach
- Strength-based: We start with what you already do well and build from there.
- Trauma-aware: We understand that past experiences can impact how safe work feels now.
- Realistic: We don’t expect perfection—we focus on progress and sustainable habits.
Take the Next Step
If you or someone you support is saying, “I want to work, but I don’t feel ready,” this is where we start.
