SSCOPE takes on large and small snow shoveling jobs on contract to provide meaningful work for our members

A new employee-member referred to us by one of our partners, the EIA Marketabilities Team, recently told us how important being hired at SSCOPE, and the importance of work in general was.  We believe in the importance of employment to stabilize and assist recovery, and we know our employee members do to.  We want to share their words so that when you hire SSCOPE to work for you, the community knows how important being able to work is, for those with a mental health disability or issue and how much you are helping.

“The first thing I think of is a sense of self worth and appreciation. Coming from a very unbalanced life as to what a normal society considers work ethics, my perspectives draw me considerably close to co-dependency. Working allows me freedom to live, function and spend as I choose. With the appreciation of each day at work, my interactions with others and the provisions to purchase my necessities and wants at my leisure. Knowing I am able to depend solely  on my effort has freed me from a lot of anxieties and unwanted ties to co-dependency.  This is my statement of the importance of work for me as a mental health consumer.”
