Rene,
	There is a program that was once called Targeted Jobs Tax Credit
(TJTC). I believe the name of the program has changed but the incentive is
still the same. It offers companies a tax credit - I seem to recall it was
about $2500 - per employee for a specified period, perhaps two years, for
hiring a disabled worker. As I understand it, a tax credit means that, once
a company calculates it tax liability for their fiscal year, they take the
amount off that amount, so this is quite an incentive! If anyone knows more
details or what the name of the program might be, that could be helpful. I
will see what I can find out for you on this.

Fraternally yours,
Marion

Hello Group:
My name is Renee. I have written to this list serve several times over the
past few months.
I am about to complete a 60 credit Masters (CMHC), from Argosy University,
Salt Lake City Campus. My difficulty is that I must do
1000 hours of clinical time. Well, at least 600 hours of direct clinical
work with the other 400 being added for other duties. I believe.
It was suggested to me that I attempt to locate a Federal or State program
which would, perhaps, offer clinicians, or agencies insentives to hire me.
You know, grants, pay, tax insentives, back to work programs through Social
Security. etc. My question:  Does anyone know of any State or Government or
private programs which could help me be more promotable?
I kind of feel odd asking, because in a perfect world I would be hired on my
own recognisence.
I have been even contemplating to contact my Senitors, and (silly
enough) perhaps the White House. Asking about programs available for
minorities, disability, older women going back to the work force.
Any suggestions would help.
In addition, we have just begun checking out Federal work at the VA, or one
of the VA hospitals or agencies which offer mental health services. I am not
sure that the VA would work on a temp basis, but perhaps when I graduate,
for a full or part time position.Do any of you know mental health persons
working at any of the Government agencies? If so, please let me know who to
contact? I can give my home number if you prefer me too.
Thank you
Renee Pavlus
A few of you mensioned that you would be willing to speak to me about some
of the issues I face.
I wasn't able to make it to the Federation convension this year. I am
planning to attend next year. I am not sure I am on the list since I have
not paid the dues.  I would, in addition appreciate any advice.
