This year’s Leadership Unlimited class visited Catalyst Life Services with the topic of Wellness! It was an impactful experience and Catalyst was able to share the variety of ways they offer support on an individual’s journey to Wellness.
Harry Donahue, CEO & President welcomed these leaders to Catalyst Life Services.
Mitch Jacobsen, Director of Vocational Services, provided the class with a tour of Progress Industries’ industrial workshop which employs individuals with disabilities and serves the manufacturing community of Richland County with cost-effective production solutions. Mitch discussed the importance of assisting individuals with barriers to employment and how our vocational department put over 500 people to work last year.
Laura Montgomery, VP of Human Resources and Housing Services, was able to speak about the Housing First Philosophy. Housing First is an approach that offers permanent, affordable housing for individuals and families experiencing homelessness, and then provides the supportive services and connections to the community-based supports people need to keep their housing and avoid returning to homelessness.
