Jason Mayhall's struggle with a substance abuse disorder and a mental health disability contributed to his personal challenges. After connecting with DOR when he was on parole, Jason was able to receive employment counseling and guidance and referrals to community services as needed. That support enabled Jason to learn a trade and re-integrate in society. He now works in the construction industry and is an example of how the trajectory of a person's life can change when they are employed and feel like they have a purpose in life.
