Getting a job is often one of the most important life events of a person with a severe mental illness because it represents an opportunity for that individual to have a quality life. GCB has a number of employment programs that help clients choose, get, and a keep a job of their choice in the community or in one of GCB’s many commercial contracts. Additional support services include benefits planning, transportation assistance, and job clubs. GCB has specialized employment programs for ex-offenders with severe mental illness and for people with developmental disabilities. All employment programs are modeled after nationally established and researched best practices and include peer support.

What Professionals Have To Say About GCB:
“I had the pleasure of working with Sarah [a GCB staff member]. Our initial meeting was after an interview I conducted with [a GCB client] who was applying to my company for open security guard positions we had. Since it is rare that we have people come to our office with potential candidates, I inquired who was with him in our lobby.

I soon learned that Sarah was with GCB and was there to assist in the application process. As I concluded the interview, I wanted to introduce myself to Sarah and thank her for taking the time to bring [the client] to my office. I also wanted Sarah to know of my personal background in law enforcement and serving on the Butler County Mental Health Board for several years and of my appreciation for the work she and everyone at GCB perform each day.

Sarah and I have maintained a professional relationship over these last 2 years and fortunately for my company, [the client] continues in the role of security and has done a great job; all thanks to Sarah for taking the time to accompany him!  I know of the challenges Sarah and the staff face at GCB and applaud them for their continued service to those who need assistance.”
