1. What are the eligibility requirements to join the Raising Hope of Nevada program?

To ensure that all participants are prepared for long-term success, the following requirements must be met: Medical Examination: All applicants are required to undergo a medical examination to ensure that you are physically fit for employment.

Your well-being is our priority, and we want to ensure you're physically ready for the job market. Therapy Requirement: Participants must complete 3 to 6 months of therapy with a selected provider. This therapy is designed to support your mental and emotional health, ensuring that any challenges or obstacles are addressed so that you can thrive throughout the program.

Our goal is to provide the emotional and psychological support you need to thrive.

5. Do I have to have insurance before I can join the program?

While you are not required to have health insurance at the time of applying, you must obtain health insurance before beginning the program.

7. What happens if I miss a scheduled session or therapy appointment?

We understand that life happens, but consistency is key to your success.
