Whole Health Employment Support
& Training
WHEST is much more than a basic job skills program.
This 11-week program will review several areas of focus to help improve your:
Soft skills like communication, time management, and conflict resolution
Whole health wellness like hygiene, nutrition, finances, and organizational skills
Using technology including using a smartphone, searching the internet, managing social media, and Microsoft Office
Skills on the job in any job including customer service skills and workplace ethics.
Applying for a job including resume building, job applications, dress codes and interviewing skills
This program is facilitated by Peer Support Specialists in a strengths-based, person centered way. Along with the basic 11-week curriculum, participants can expect to receive mentorship in the following areas:
Basic Empowerment
Employment Search
Guidance in the First 3 Months of Employment as it Relates to Relationships with Coworkers and Supervisors, Job Duties, and Ethics
Leadership Skills Building
Mentorship in the Discovery of Personal Strengths
Employment Support
Participants will learn job readiness skills to support them in obtaining gainful employment. This Whole Health approach to employment incorporates the use of soft skills, mentorship, and leadership development to support a strength-based, person centered pathway to occupational wellness. Peer Support Specialist facilitators provide guidance to individuals in the first 3 months of employment modeling healthy professional relationships and “on the job” ethics.
Mentorship & Leadership
The Whole Health Employment Support and Training (WHEST) program provides mentorship in the development of professional goals, discovery of personal strengths, and the continued building of leadership skills. Participants are encouraged to continue mentorship relationships with the Peer Support Specialist facilitators. For those who complete the WHEST curriculum, and have interest, we do offer a track which allows individuals to learn about peer support and eventually take the Peer Support Training.
