In the News: Workforce Development Board and Caminar give Suisun City man a second chance at life

Sacramento News and Review recently shared the story of how Caminar’s Jobs Plus team helped a Solano County man find employment:

“Larry Jackson, 46, of Suisun City, is turning his life around, thanks to the Workforce Development Board of Solano County and its partners.

After serving more than a year in prison, Jackson needed a job to support his children, he says. But his struggles with bipolar disorder and depression did not help.

He used to work in the mortuary transport field, he says. “But that was getting to me because of my mental health.”

So, he turned to employment specialist Roxanne Medearis at Caminar, a nonprofit agency offering behavioral health and social services.”
