Founded in 2008, the Community Employment Services Project is funded by the Maine Department of Health and Human Services . In July 2010, the Maine Department of Labor, joined in its support to the project.
Employment and education for individuals with mental illness
The Community Employment Services Project provides supported employment and education services to individuals clinically eligible for MaineCare Section 17 or 92 services (community integration or behavioral health home) throughout the State of Maine. Employment Specialists work in eight behavioral health agency locations throughout the state, and two supervisors oversee the project. The goal of the project is to increase the rates of competitive employment and education attainment for individuals with mental illness.
