Improving / developing interpersonal interactions COMPENSATED WORK THERAPY (CWT) The COMPENSATED WORK THERAPY program is driven to provide Veterans the ability to enhance their vocational,
social, independent living skills, all of which are based upon the Veteran's individual choice. Compensated Work Therapy is a clinical & therapeutic vocational rehabilitation
program that consists of two separate program components: TRANSITIONAL WORK and SUPPORTED EMPLOYMENT. TRANSITIONAL WORK (TW) is considered an internship-type program with a paid stipend.
Veterans in the program are provided contracted work opportunities with an average timespan of six months. Participants also receive counseling to achieve independence, maximum
self-sufficiency, and marketable skill development that lead to community-based employment. SUPPORTED EMPLOYMENT (SE) assists Veterans diagnosed with psychosis, traumatic brain injury,
post-traumatic stress disorder, etc., to find and keep jobs. The program will evaluate the Veteran's ability to manage the demands of working, develop realistic employment outcomes, and
provide on-going job training, assistance, coaching, and advocacy. CONTACT INFORMATION PETER DANIELS CWT Program Coordinator 316-685-2221, ext. 57315 AARON PLUME TW Employment Specialist
