Description
This book is part of a collection of resource materials called the “Building Friendships at Work Toolkit”. It is designed tol help organizations that provide employment supports take better advantage of opportunities to facilitate relationships between the people they support and their co-workers—especially co-workers who do not have disabilities — in community settings.
Building Friendships at Work covers several key topics:
- Why Friends at Work Are Important
- Tools For Crafting Friendships in the Workplace
- Job/Career Planning and Relationships
- Person-Centered Career Planning
- Job Development and Relationships
- Supporting Relationships in the Early Stages of Employment
- Supporting Relationships In – and Beyond – the Workplace Over Time
Widening the Circle (Expanding opportunities for friendships between people with and without disabilities) is a project under the auspices of The Arc of Massachusetts, funded by the Massachusetts Department of Developmental Services (DDS).
