One of our many goals at RiverValley is to help our clients become productive members in society. That’s why we provide supportive employment opportunities by working with a network of nearly 50 local employers who are willing to hire adult clients with unique emotional or intellectual needs. Upon referral, we mediate with employers who understand our clients have specialized needs and are willing to hire them for certain roles and tasks. These partnerships benefit the company, the client, and the greater community.
