I am looking for activities to do with adult who has mental issues looking for jobs.

Can you clarify this

Is this person looking for a job in the community or are you talking about a job for him to do in the facility ??

From how it reads I would say in the facility

Thanks Carla

If you want to find a job for the person to do and your facility you need to find out what his interests and abilities are because you want the job to be success oriented and failure free

Here are somethings I’ve tried

I make cards on the computer for any occasion

I am make some copies on the copy machine The cards that need to be folded

I have the person fold these cards for me and then either he or someone else passes them out

I have had residents be my helper at an activity

If The person has a special talent than use it

I hope this helps

I absolutely love this site. I find the resources and ideas invaluable in my role as a Recreational Activities Officer in a large nursing home. The abundance of ideas, quizzes, and printable forms has helped me support residents in finding their inner “fun,” which had previously been missing. THANK YOU - from myself and the residents!!
