Vocational Rehabilitation at it's Best!
Some individuals believe that Vocational Rehabilitation is for the difficult to manage, the sick and the ill-inspired. Time For Change (TFC) firmly believes that this is not the case. TFC collaborates with individuals who have had minor setbacks in their educational and/or vocational career. We work with individuals to re-establish their hope of what they have once thought was a lost; motivation or just traction in gaining success in the meaningful activity of WORK! We give back to the Washington DC metropolitan community in such a way that re-establishes productive citizens whom were once criminal offenders and or individuals who have been trauma informed due to either their poor behavior choices and or poor behavior choices of others, which may have effected them significantly from moving forward successfully. We provide therapeutic interventions to reformed and conditioned behavior through a client-centered approach.

Community-Based Agency 

TFC is a community-based agency. We are all about being integrated in the community. We provide the rarity of home-visits or community stationed sites where meetings can happen for the convenience of the client. We are an employment therapeutic agency and sometimes space is sacred and TFC understands this. We meet you where you are...   

Why Time For Change ?

Time For Change was established in February of 2016. We strive to find the most difficult cases to decrease the rate of incarceration in the Washington DC area, which is currently at 10,000 individuals per year. With 60,000 re-cycling in a year in and out of the system. These numbers are truly alarming but the idea is that a number of these individuals become homeless as a result of not being able to land a career due to there criminal record, physical or mental health and or setbacks in their re-curing problematic behaviors. We know some individuals have hard lives to start out with and they are trauma informed at an early age. Innocent families are effected daily by some of these individuals committing unexplainable crimes. The constant cycle of criminality in the community and not having the clinical help needed to stop the vicious cycles of repeated traumas and previous learned behaviors for survival, forces us to provide therapy while exploring careers with them to give them the extra support they are not familiar with. We will support individuals through the process of identifying a way out early, specifically for at-risk young adults and adults vulnerable to crime and homelessness. We like the idea of intervening as early as possible in their individual lives to promote change out of this cycle. However, our services are not limited to any age group.

Understanding the Mission... ​

​Vocational Rehabilitation has a therapeutic component believe it or not... TFC understands that because of extenuating circumstances, which leads to stress, individuals can become vulnerable to mental instability. This tends to result in certain behaviors being committed and/or conditioned to be committed again. This cycle de-rails the idea of career obtainment. We know that at-risk youth and previous incarcerated young adults are only the future of the chronically homeless and or incarcerated adults of the Washington DC area. For this reason, we target them in the Washington DC area (DC, MD and VA). The mission is to eradicate crime and homelessness by providing client-centered services and goal-driven interventions collaboratively with the client to ultimately land employment (careers) for the individuals. Rehabilitation is not only the act of restoring something to its original state when it comes to vocational skills, for some vulnerable individuals, the goal has never been navigated or developed, TFC offers this opportunity.
