Well-Being Essentials

Well-Being Essentials

During WellPower’s Well-Being Essentials Campaign, you have a chance to support not only the basic needs, but the continued personal and professional growth of people we serve.

We know that people are more than their diagnoses. Everyone – and we mean everyone – has strengths. Our goal is to help the people we serve identify their strengths and build on them; we meet people where they are and help them discover what they need to thrive.

Our Rehabilitation programs do exactly that – by helping people we serve meet their basic needs while engaging in personal growth, we serve as a bridge to the greater community, providing opportunities for people to create meaningful, independent lives.

What is Rehabilitation?

Education

Education opens doors to things we couldn’t do before. At WellPower, this includes computer classes; a paid culinary training program; art studio instruction; music education; college support, GED classes and vocational skills training; group cultural outings; and an array of fitness, nutrition, social, spiritual and recreational classes.

Employment

Employment is one of the primary ways we build independence and meaning in our lives. WellPower’s employment programs teach professional skills, provide career assessments and match people with Denver area businesses who are looking for dependable and motivated employees.

Resource Centers

Our Resource Centers help people meet their basic needs through donations of essentials, from clothing for job interviews to food and toys for families, hygiene products, books and much more. Donations are very important, and we welcome your contributions today.

Peer Support Services

Peer Support Services employs people with lived experience. Peer Providers help individuals build relationships and facilitate hope, provide person-centered service and encourage self determination and self-direction in the recovery journey. Community integration is an crucial component of peer support to help people move towards independence and self-sufficiency.
