Participants

MRC serves individuals with physical or mental health disabilities or other barriers to employment (immigrants and refugees and people with limited income or transitioning from public assistance to self-sufficiency).

Normally, MRC consumers are referred for services by a “referral source” or someone who will ensure payment is made for services received. In the case of grant-funded projects or programs, individuals may be referred or may self-refer for those services if they meet the project or program entrance criteria. Although MRC doesn’t receive many referrals directly from individuals, it is an option for an individual to self-pay for MRC services.
