It’s that time of year again! Where Mitchell gets serious. Some of you may only know me for Pokémon cards. But for my full time job, I work at a vocational clubhouse program that helps traumatic and acquired brain injury survivors simulate a work day to hopefully reenter the work force. The non-profit I work for relies solely on stated funding rather than Medicaid/medicare. Within the state we have one of the lowest designated funding per case amounts, mainly due to many clients being classified under mental health & substance abuse rather than their injury. Every year I go to the Virginia state capital and lobby the State senators and house delegates for more funding throughout the state. Today we are going to be advocating for increased workforce retention, case management expansion, and funding for an in patient tbi unit within the state. I implore you that if a cause exists that you find passion in, fight for it, especially if it for those who need your help to fight for themselves ❤️
