Mobius provides collaborative, high quality services across Lincoln County. Our professional staff take pride in their work and take great care to assure the quality of the service provided. Mobius offers a wide-range of services that are driven by a philosophy of Social Role Valorization. Our programs guided by the philosophy that if a person holds valued social roles, that person is highly likely to receive from society those good things in life that are available to that society, and that can be conveyed by it, or at least the opportunities for obtaining these.
Community membership is provided through one-on-one, pairs and small groups to support client inclusion and belonging in their community. We strive to provide a learning environment that supports clients to contribute to their community. Clients participate in goal-driven activities in facility and community-based settings.
Nothing is more central to the Mobius philosophy of valued roles than supporting employment for all, regardless of ability. This program provides employment services to persons with disabilities through two components: Job Development and Work Supports. These two services work to assure long-term success for both the employer and the supported employees. Referrals to the program may come from any source,
