We believe in supporting the whole person by offering compassionate, individualized services that empower each person to thrive through technology, transportation, healthcare coordination, and caring, skilled support.
Our transportation service complements Rapid Ride and Dial-a-Ride to ensure the people we support get to appointments, employment, and services, and to have fun with friends in our beautiful community.
Therapies, including counseling and occupational therapy, are also offered as needed to Black Hills Works participants. Counseling addresses emotional and psychological well-being with the participant, helping them explore concerns, gain insights, and develop strategies for coping and emotional growth. Occupational therapy addresses sensory processing, emotional regulation, fine motor skills, health and wellness promotion, occupational exploration, and environmental modifications and adaptions, to help participant enjoy what is meaningful to them.
Our behavior support specialists train and educate teams working with individuals displaying crisis behavior, with a primary focus on capacity building for support staff and leadership. Recognizing the presence of co-occurring mental health and neurological conditions, they provide education on these issues, using a person-in-environment/systems perspective to consider all aspects of an individual’s life and how these factors may influence behavior, working to support positive change where possible.
