New on the blog – A Place of Her Own: Alicia's Story Alicia started partnering with Lifeworks for Self-Directed Services in late 2023. Before learning about Lifeworks, Alicia lived in a group home with several others. The environment was not a good fit for Alicia - so she moved back home with her mother, Amy. Amy didn't think that living independently was an option available to Alicia. After speaking with their case manager about this, it came as a surprise that it was possible for Alicia to live on her own. The case manager referred them to Lifeworks to lean more about how Self-Directed Services could help Alicia achieve this. Read the full story to learn how Alicia and Amy partnered with Lifeworks to ensure she could be successful living on her own, have the staff needed to support her, and explore her interests in the community.

We are appreciative to the team at QUEERSPACE collective for leading a training titled "Recognizing Intersectionality" for Team Lifeworks yesterday! In this training, the folks at QUEERSPACE collective invited us to consider how our multiple identities inform our experiences and the inequities people face at the intersection of marginalized identities. With a deeper understanding of intersectionality, we are all better equipped to advocate with, and empower, folks in the LGBTQ+ community and people with disabilities. Thank you, QUEERSPACE collective, for an insightful session! Learn more about QUEERSPACE collective on their website: https://lnkd.in/erKmYnQ #LifeworksMN

Robin is celebrating 10 years at Lifeworks this month! Robin became the Team Manager for our Day Services in Mankato last year – supporting our teams that cover community-based services in the Mankato area. She started out in a Program Support role for our Mankato team. "Being in that role I was able to watch, learn, and help the Program Managers support the staff in Mankato location," says Robin. Assisting the Mankato team for nearly a decade and learning about what they needed to be successful made Robin the perfect fit for becoming a team manager. Robin continues to leverage her decades of experience in direct care and administrative work in the human services field to be an impactful leader at Lifeworks. Thank you Robin for the impact you make at Lifeworks! Join our team today to make an impact in your community: https://bit.ly/39YX70y #LifeworksMN #MakeAnImpact #MNJobs
