Not Tinseltown - our town. That's what the Rutland community and
a nonprofit group captured on video over the past year. Vocational
Opportunity Works! (VOW), a supported employment program affiliated
with Rutland Mental Health Services, received a grant to document the
challenges and opportunities facing people with mental illnesses who
are trying to return fully to the community. Through interviews of
workers with mental illness, their employers, family members and the
community, the video gathers opinions and concerns about reintegrating
those recovering from mentally illnesses into the workforce. What they
found was that....Vocational Opportunity Works!
