Community Services
Customized Employment
Grace Reliant contracts with the Missouri Department of Mental Health to offer supports that enable individuals with disabilities to compete for employment. We believe that all individuals have worth and value, along with some amazing skills and abilities to offer employers.
We are ACRE Certified by the Griffin-Hammis organization (www.griffinhammis.com) to implement the Customized Employment Model.
Customized Employment (CE) represents a specific set of techniques and strategies that differentiate it from other forms of community employment. CE is based on the fundamental elements of Supported Employment, but differs in important ways. CE is not “better” than other approaches, but there are circumstances when CE is a preferred option, especially when an individual faces multiple and/or complex barriers to attaining meaningful work.
