DON’T KNOW WHAT TO ASK?
Here Are Some Texts To Get You Started:
Our counselors can assist you no matter how you start a conversation. If you’re feeling stuck, here are examples to begin your session.
“I’m having trouble with my job search.”
“I need a new career path, but i don’t know what to do.”
“I’m feeling discouraged about work.”
HOW IT WORKS
Get Started With Three Steps
Follow these three simple steps to get the most out of your Empower Work session
1. Start A Chat
Text what’s going on to 510-674-1414 or click the chat bubble on the bottom right of your screen to start a live chat with a trained peer counselor.
2. Get Career Support
A peer counselor will introduce themselves, ask questions, and reflect with you. Get support, not directions. We are here to help guide you.
3. Take Action
The best way to be accountable is to take action. Leave your conversation with an action plan. Follow through and bring it to life.
Empower Work is not a job placement agency or legal firm, but we can help connect you with resources to help with food, housing, financial hardship, transportation, and many of the common challenges people face when struggling with work.
We empower workers and job seekers through counseling support proven to improve mental health and economic outcomes.
