About
Funded by the Department of Aging and Disability Services (ADS), our jobs program helps Connecticut adults with a wide range of disabilities obtain employment in their chosen field. We provide vocational assessments, evaluations, job development and on-site training to ensure a positive job match and a smooth transition. In 2019, we also continued providing 'Level Up' transition services through ADS for students with disabilities to help prepare them for the workplace, college and life. In 2019, our Special Education Support Services (SESS) program hosted the 6th annual student learning fair in Willimantic. The event was incredibly well received by our students, mentors, family members, special education directors, and the Project Genesis team. Thirty students participated and showcased their talents and dreams through projects aligned with key skill areas contained in their individual education plans (IEP). Funded by the Department of Social Services, our Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) Waiver program helps brain injury survivors learn to live independently in their own homes and communities. We help survivors pursue work goals through pre-vocational skills training and job placement. We also assist in accessing community resources such as social service, health, entertainment, religious, and educational opportunities. In partnership with Connecticut's Brain Injury Alliance (BIAC), Project Genesis proudly sponsors and hosts monthly brain injury support groups that draw survivors and families from central and eastern Connecticut. The meetings are co-facilitated by survivors and our staff, giving survivors the chance to meet in a safe environment, support one another, and demonstrate a leadership role. The support groups foster natural therapeutic relationships, enhance social skills and self-care, build unity, and promote advocacy. Also in partnership with BIAC, Project Genesis hosted the 8th annual 'Fun in the Sun' summer cookout at Camp Harkness in Waterford, CT. With nearly 200 attendees, the annual cookout has become one of New England's largest social gatherings for acquired brain injury survivors and supporters. This event, along with many other social and cultural activities throughout the year, help foster social networks among survivors and families, and establish survivors as part of the community. In 2019, Project Genesis provided individualized support services to over 200 people with disabilities throughout the state. Success for Project Genesis is truly measured by the successes of the consumers we serve. They courageously dare to dream, chart a course, and do the hard work needed to achieve their goals. Each time we witness a consumer's success, we are humbled, inspired, and grateful to be a part of their amazing journey.
