*Health Work & Benefits Navigator Trainings 2026*

A person receiving Social Security disability benefits or SSI has likely been told they can't work, or if they do work that they should limit their hours. They may believe they can't work or have limited work experience or education. Likely, they may fear losing their financial and medical safety net if they try to work.

How can a service provider encourage work for a consumer who is living this experience? What is a social service provider to do in this "Employment First" state, especially without experience in employment services?

Join a session to learn what “Work and Benefits Navigation” means and how you can be an employment champion for your clients and your agency.
