With the support of Chrysalis staff, participants in the Alternatives to Employment (AES) program are encouraged to develop community partnerships within their own neighbourhoods or interest groups. Individuals participating in the AES program may have limiting or multiple barriers to employment due to their existing health conditions. With the support of Chrysalis staff, many of the individuals in the Alternatives to Employment are active and valued community volunteers. In addition to recreational activities in the community, individuals have access to a wide variety of programs which include Therapeutic Art Program, Cooking, Music Therapy, Expressive Dance, Augmented Computer Education, the Learning Centre, Life Skills, and others, all of which are designed to enhance personal skills, gifts, and interests.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","lpm_province":[10],"lpm_need":[96],"lpm_journey":[58],"lpm_service_type":[56],"lpm_language":[44],"lpm_keyword":[7908,7297,7344,7773,7313],"class_list":["post-17766","lpm_program","type-lpm_program","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\n
