It was declared a national holiday in 1887. While its initial purpose was to recognize the contributions of the labor movement, the occasion is now used to honor all American workers for their efforts to sustain the nation’s strength and freedom through productivity. According to the most recent statistics, six in 10 Americans are employed. Conversely though, the national unemployment rate for persons with disabilities hovers at more than 70%. This is unfortunate and unacceptable. So many individuals with disabilities are capable, willing and enthusiastic about working. Jobs do more than provide financial support; an occupation gives a lot of us a sense of purpose and accomplishment. New Jersey is committed to helping individuals with disabilities attain work. In the FY’08 budget, Governor Corzine fully funded the  HYPERLINK "http://www.state.nj.us/humanservices/dds/persast.html" Personal Assistance Services Program (PASP) which eliminated the 150 person waiting list and provided support to those able to pursue employment. In addition, DHS was awarded a Comprehensive Employment Systems grant to explore and identify strategies to increase the meaningful participation of individuals with disabilities in the workforce. Some of these initiatives will be highlighted during the  HYPERLINK "http://www.state.nj.us/humanservices/dds/gov_conf_employ_dis.htm" ‘Discoverability’ - 2007 Governor’s Conference: Employment for People with Disabilities scheduled for October 11 & 12. The event will provide resources to help people with disabilities enter the job market, learn useful job-hunting skills and network with employers. And for job openings, DHS’ Division of Disability Services is linked to a  HYPERLINK "http://www.accessibleemployment.org/" job board website dedicated to the exchange of information between employers and qualified candidates with disabilities. Join me in advocacy and let’s get to work! DIVISION NEWS Division of Addiction Services (DAS) DAS is co-hosting the Women's Health: Addiction, Trauma & HOPE conference on October 4-5, 2007 at The Westin in Princeton. Nationally known keynote and workshop speakers will discuss best practices, clinical information and current research relative to various gender related trauma for women in addiction. These issues include domestic violence, mood disorders, eating disorders and co-occurring disorders.  For details and registration information, see the  HYPERLINK "http://www.certbd.com/pdfs/Woman_s_Health.pdf" conference brochure. The deadline is September 15. Division of Family Development (DFD) Alisha Griffin, Assistant Director in DFD for the  HYPERLINK "http://www.njchildsupport.org" Office of Child Support Services, was recently selected to receive the prestigious Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) Commissioner’s Award for Exemplary Leadership at the 17th National Child Support Enforcement Training Conference. She will be honored on Tuesday, September 11. Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD) The division has adopted the e-update idea to keep staff, legislators and stakeholders informed of current and upcoming activities. ‘DDD News’ will be distributed electronically on a bi-monthly basis.  HYPERLINK "mailto:dddnewsletter@dhs.state.nj.us" Email the division to become a member of the listserv. DHS Office of Emergency Management (OEM) September is National Preparedness Month. Government agencies, businesses, individuals and families are encouraged to create an emergency plan or re-assess their current arrangements to assure readiness. There are a host of governmental and non-governmental groups that specialize in helping with this preparation. The website  HYPERLINK "http://www.ready.gov" www.ready.gov is one such resource with  HYPERLINK "http://www.ready.gov/business/_downloads/Ready_Brochure_Screen_EN_20040129.pdf" brochures and  HYPERLINK "http://www.ready.gov/america/getakit/index.html" kit information. Division of Medical Assistance & Health Services (DMAHS) Governors Corzine and Rendell in their roles with the National Governors’ Association recently co-signed a letter to Secretary Michael Leavitt of the US Department of Health and Human Services urging reconsideration of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ recent directive to limit enrollment in the SCHIP program. Your comments and suggestions for content are welcome, as are constituent correspondences or inquiries.
