“I’ve been working at PCC Sylvania child development center for 7 months. It’s a job that I have found that I enjoy doing a lot the staff is very nice and helpful when it comes to figuring what they need from me during the course of the day. It’s a lot of fun working on a college campus. I learned a lot of different skills and I get to do many different tasks through out the day. The job coaching at trellis is fantastic. My job coach has helped me communicate with coworkers a lot better and made my job a lot easier to handle. She is always available whenever I need her.” ~ Lindsey Cogan
“I want to tell you how the team at Trellis and my job coach, have made all the difference in the person, and employee, I am today. I worked with Trellis to find my initial position with my current employer. This position matched my previous experience and it worked well for me. However, after a period of time due to my disability, this position ended up being, both physically and mentally, too stressful and I struggled to go to work each day. My job coach realized this and immediately went to work to find a new position for me, with the same employer, that I absolutely love. By making this change, both my physical and mental stress levels have almost fully diminished. Even my caregiver keeps telling me that I seem like a new person and you know, I actually feel like one. Now I get excited about getting up and going to work everyday. I can honestly say that, had I not been working with Trellis and having the continuing support of my job coach, I would probably not even be able to work at all. Thank you Trellis, for being an organization of people who truly care about and fully support their clients.” ~ Michelle

“I am very grateful for all the help I have received from Trellis at my job at Oregon Health Sciences University and at Providence Health Systems. Tami Socolofski, Marieka Brown and Linda Stine helped me learn systems and processes to do a variety of tasks. Sometimes, they had to come in and work with my employer to map out the job tasks and they made it better for everyone. I moved from OHSU to Providence Health Systems because they offered me more hours to work. But, the transition was difficult, starting out new and learning things all over again. But my friends at Trellis never gave up on me, even though it was hard. They always found a way to help! I couldn’t have done it without them!” ~ Karen
“I really enjoy having DJ as my Job Coach because he understands things that I would have a hard time saying. He is very laid back and very approachable. He is very helpful when I need something that he can help me with. I would not have my awesome job without the help and support of DJ. I would highly recommend anyone in Trellis who is looking for work and in need of a Job Coach to ask for DJ.”
