Employment Support Services

Our agency offers a range of employment support services. If you are a Medicaid recipient, you may qualify for supported employment benefits through the Foundational Community Supports (FCS) program, and Advocacy Change Thrive is an authorized FCS provider.

For individuals with disabilities, you may be eligible for employment support services through the state's Division of Vocational Rehabilitation (DVR), and Advocacy Change Thrive is also a certified DVR provider.

If you do not qualify for FCS or DVR services, we offer employment support on a consultancy or freelance basis. For more information, please visit our Consulting page.
