Ontario Works - Working To Your Full Potential
The Ontario Works - Working To Your Full Potential program is for individuals who are either unemployed or underemployed. To be eligible, clients who live or work in the Region of Peel MUST be referred to us by Ontario Works.
Services include counselling and psycho-educational workshops. Via counselling, clients are able to work on issues that are holding them back from succeeding in either obtaining or retaining employment. The workshops provide a safe and supportive learning environment where clients benefit from sharing and learning both from the facilitator and each other. This service helps clients to overcome difficult challenges (e.g., isolation) while engendering a sense of hope in moving forward.
