Episode summary: This Q & A session was provided for Philadelphia Area Supported Employment providers in response to the Covid-19 health crisis. The purpose of this forum was to provide support and guidance to employment providers as they struggle to continue to meet the needs of job-seekers and workers with disabilities during this time. In this episode, Lisa Svidron (Mainstay Life Services, Western PA), Courtney Harless (Penn-Mar Human Services, Northeastern PA), Tara Mullen and Julia Blackwell (JEVS Human Services – Philadelphia, Southern NJ) share how their organizations are handling the current Covid-19 crisis and what proactive measures they are taking in May in #MaskUpPA. We hope you find these resources helpful. The forum will be scheduled weekly throughout the business restrictions related to the Corona virus.
