Denise works for a supportive housing program in Kelowna as a Home Support Worker, serving a diverse population, including persons with mental illness, substance abuse disorders, and trauma. She was recently diagnosed with hearing loss in both ears.
WorkBC Assistive Technology Services has been helping Hailey get the assistive technology she needs as she works to find employment. Hailey has cerebral palsy, which makes her speech soft and she uses a power wheelchair.
Andrea recently completed training to become a social and community service worker, and is looking for employment in that field. She has hearing loss, which makes it difficult to communicate without hearing aids.
“Now, three months later, I am successfully retrained and employed full time in the security industry, all thanks to the invaluable assistance from the WorkBC Assistive Technology Services program and my new hearing aids.”
“The program helped me in so many ways. I had no idea just how much I was missing. I go days without saying, ‘Can you repeat that?’ or ‘I can’t hear you unless you are in front of me.’ I received a set of hearing aids which I wear religiously.”
