~~~~~~~~ MISSION OUTREACH intensifies its approach to Tackle the Tough Skills
In 1996, welfare-to-work became an issue many individuals and communities were forced to address. It wasn’t easy for either group. Many women (and some men) being forced into the workplace had no experience with getting or keeping a job. More than any other emotion, they experienced fear…fear that their children would not receive appropriate care, fear that incomes could not replace support systems threatening to disappear, and perhaps most of all, fear of failure.
TACKLING THE TOUGH SKILLS is a holistic approach placing participants in a variety of settings, which encourages cross-over from individualized critical thinking to thinking within a framework of family, work, and community. Participants understand that action taken in one area of life affects all other areas as well. Resiliency is evident when an individual can apply the same knowledge to different situation.
TACKLING THE TOUGH SKILLS classes are A very special Thanks to our instructors for helping to equip our residents with the necessary skills to be self-sufficient.
