“I’ve learned more from you than all the books I’ve read on TBIs.”

“The training was truly outstanding! Erica provided a wealth of useful knowledge throughout her presentation. While the knowledge itself was the primary focus of the training, Erica presented it in a way that allowed easy learning, participation interaction, and excellent take-aways for staff to use in the field. Her personality and wealth of BI experience shined in her presentation. And to see the video with an actual BI customer and how the waiver along with Minds Matter expertise supported him from complete disability to a new independent life and employment- priceless!!

It was unanimous. Our team rates Erica’s training A+++.”
– Rik VanDyke, Program Coordinator at the Wyandotte/Leavenworth Aging & Disability Resource Center

communityworks, inc. is a nationally recognized service provider for individuals living with disabilities. Working in collaboration with people living with disabilities, communityworks’ professionals team with physicians, decision makers, government officials, businesses and families to develop support systems that help consumers increase self-sufficiency at home and in the community. Every day communityworks and its staff strive to assist consumers to recapture the enjoyment and routine of day-to-day living.  As our philosophy and mission have gained recognition, we are being sought out to assist other communities in different states reaching as far as Alaska to better understand our model and how to make it work for them. Janet Williams and other communityworks professionals have met with Alaska’s state personnel to collaborate on the best way for Alaska to develop their own program that mirrors our communityworks model here in Kansas. This is ground breaking for the state of Alaska due to no current services being in place to meet the complex needs of those who have experienced brain injury and the cognitive and behavioral challenges that can accompany that injury.

“And thank you again for that wonderful training! It has radically changed the way
we do advocacy and generated wonderful conversations around trauma injuries.”
