At Integrated Interventions, we believe that work ethic is the foundation for creating a healthy and independent lifestyle. This process starts the moment the student moves into their home. While the program will provide the student with the initial set up (food, basic furniture, and hygiene supplies), the student pays for those basic needs the following week. This is made possible by establishing work ethic at the shop, hobby-farm, thrift store, or when students acquire community-based employment. When students do work at the Integrated locations, they have a mentor walking them through each project and task. This allows the program to not only assess each student’s level of work ethic, but allows us to pay them for their efforts.
