Join Us
Enroll
in our Program. There is no waiting list for admission
to Restoration Project. Participants join through state referrals
through the Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission or through
private pay arrangements. Please contact the Director, Eloise
Newell, for information about fees.
Students
work at Restoration Project until they are ready to apply
their renewed strengths to an occupation closer to their own
goals and dreams. The average person works two days a week
and stays 12 months, though the rehabilitation process is
gradual and individual. After six months, they share their
schedule at Restoration Project with a series of part time
volunteer or paid positions, leading to permanent employment.
Examples of fields chosen are paralegal services, home health
care, retail sales, construction, nursery and garden service,
and counseling. Some return to school to develop their skills
and interest further.
The
community is welcome to visit and to volunteer at Restoration
Project. Adult Education students join our program during
the day to work on their own furniture next to our participants.
We appreciate the sense of community and the opportunity to
educate the public about mental illness.
