In spite of employment numbers dropping and the numbers of adults with mental illness rising, there are some companies still dedicated to providing employment opportunities to improve lives of adults living with mental illness. On March 20, 2003, Employment Options, Inc. will recognize these companies at the Annual Employment Awards Dinner for their continued support.

"Job satisfaction is one of the key elements to long term recovery of our members", says Toni Wolf, Executive Director. "We truly appreciate the support of these companies and welcome others to join our growing number of employers". Options' staff and members are committed to the task of identifying opportunities with area employers and matching those opportunities with members ready to join the workforce.
