Employment & Vocational Services In September, Ravenwood Mental Health Center took over the Supported Employment Program in Geauga County from Neighboring. Supported Employment assists mental health consumers in obtaining and maintaining employment. Ravenwood strongly believes that being employed can significantly increase the potential for recovery. Services offered include activities and therapies which restore and improve a person’s ability to function in work settings. The goal of these services is to support a person’s ability to perform in the workplace by developing or increasing their knowledge, skills and capabilities. Supported Employment emphasizes the importance of consumer preferences, a rapid job search, and competitive job goals. This program is located at the John Murray Center, 208 North Hambden Street in Chardon. Megan Thirion will serve as the Program Manager and Sarah Powell is the Employment Specialist. You may contact the Supported Employment Program at 440-286-2588. Supported Employment
