- Call the Employment Director to arrange for a tour of our program and a detailed presentation of our employment services. We then invite your family member to visit Lifeworks for two weeks, during which time they will work with us on various tasks so we get a good idea of his/her skills, interests and talents. Following this, we meet with you to summarize our services and next steps about joining Lifeworks.
