Welcome to the Alberta Association for Supported Employment

AASE Chair

Message from the Chair

As chair for the AASE board I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself as an Employment Specialist employed by Alberta Health Services -Edmonton Region, through Addictions and Mental Health division. Working with Mental Health the past couple of years has expanded my vision for Supported Employment to a broader scope of individuals. The recent training I received at Boston University specific to Mental Health clients choosing, getting and keeping jobs supports the work that we are doing; adding some beneficial tools that we use with our clients. Currently I am a part of a local Networking Group meeting monthly with agencies that are providing services for Mental Health clients in the Edmonton area.

As a board we are thankful for the strong representation we have in the central and northern area of Alberta and this next year would like to invite the south and rural communities to join us in our sharing of resources for Supported Employment. We would love to hear from you as to what would make membership worthwhile.

Our membership continues to grow and we are thankful for this trend. This year we anticipate another year of growth and continue to share resources with our membership inviting others to join us.

We are proud of what AASE can accomplish as a team, and look forward to building on all our strengths and sharing resources for strong initiatives in Supported Employment.

Best Regards,
Kathleen Taubensee
