Livelihood Opportunities
Lack of access to meaningful employment is one of the most commonly identified unmet
needs of people with SMDs and their caregivers. Thus from the very beginning of
the program, there was a significant focus on the issue of employment and livelihoods
for people with SMDs as an essential ingredient of the overall intervention. The
other reason to focus on employment options was to open up dialogue with external
agencies that had the expertise and opportunities for providing meaningful employment.
In the course of the pilot phase of the INCENSE program, the three main types of
employment options trailed were :
1) Collective Employment Options
2) Individual Job Placements
3) Home Based Employment
We are looking for job openings for positions like office boys, receptionist, security
guards, helpers, stitching at home etc. for recovered persons with severe mental
disorders. Parivartan offers them livelihood opportunities and helps them get back
to mainstream like every other person. We would like to be associated with all those
who want to make a small difference in the society by socially helping these persons
for the same!
