CalWORKs Behavioral Health Services are
"Confidential". Services are designed to assist CalWORKs participants to
overcome mental health and substance abuse issues that interfere with their
ability to get or keep a job. Even mild emotional, alcohol or drug use problems
can interfere with a person?s ability to stay employed.
Services are integrated and address mental
health, alcohol and drug use issues. Service plans emphasize participant choice
in the selection of services and goals.
Participants are taught to improve their skills
in a number of areas that will help them to succeed in the workplace. These
skills are:
Vocational skills: coping, problem solving,
managing stress
If you believe that alcohol, drug use or
emotional problems may be hurting your chances to be financially independent, or
if you would like a professional assessment of this possibility you may:
