LakeCity Works We offer a variety of programs and services tailored to assist people living with mental illness.

LakeCity Works supports people living with mental illness to build on their strengths, take on responsibilities and access work experience, education and employment. Our belief that employment represents a crucial step in the recovery process for the individuals we serve frames our comprehensive support-based platform. Over the years, our organization has seen continuous evolution, evolving from LakeCity Industries in 1982 to LakeCity Employment Services Association in 1986 and, most recently, to LakeCity Works in 2018. Today, we are an award-winning social enterprise managing multiple innovative ventures to benefit our community and environment. At every turn, we have been leaders and innovators in the field of mental health – supporting individuals living with mental illness wherever they may be in their recovery process.
