Work as part of recovery from SZ

Health and Recovery
1

I’ve discovered that work can be a valuable part of recovery from the diagnosis of sz. Maybe by most it’s pretty well known but each day I wake up and want to go help individuals with their recovery by helping them find a job. I was working as a Medi-Cal Peer Support Socialist her in California for a company called TuRN. As in turn your life around. Anyway, by helping others find a job and therefore increase their recovery probability I get a good feeling out of that. And the individual I’m helping gets the benefit of more income, a sense of purpose each day hopefully and hopefully learning a skill. It’s a win, win!

Anybody else working right now?

Nice job! Sounds fulfilling and cool.

I don’t work. My disability is higher than my salary would be in the jobs I am capable of now (disability depends on my former salary).

I volunteer in a social work/clubhouse like setting. And with children with disability. A few days a week.

It helps a whole lot with recovery. Id be crying on my couch all day if I didn’t have these jobs and my kid.

I quit working for pay 26 years ago. I’d been volunteering ever since. I retired from volunteering this month. I will be 64 years old in 7 more days. I switched from volunteering, to donating more money.
