Jessica, SOAR program manager: Why I Do What I Do

Applying and successfully receiving disability benefits can be an arduous process for people and can take months and years to complete on their own. By being able to be their advocate through this process, it helps them have access to benefits that steers people onto their path to recovery. Having insurance allows them to treat mental and physical needs often which have gone untreated due to their lack of coverage and fear of medical bills. The income they also receive can help them find housing and stability in their lives. By listening to their stories through our process, we show them care and sense of purpose in knowing that they are being heard and advocate for them to get the treatment that they need.
