Vocational participation - training & work
Finding and keeping a regular job is an important part of a self-determined life for many people. However, for people with disabilities, access to the general labor market is often associated with particular challenges. Among other things, existing reservations on the part of employers, a lack of accessibility in the workplace, bureaucratic hurdles and a lack of or unrecognized qualifications all contribute to this. The nature or severity of a disability can also mean that it is not (yet) possible to work in the general labor market.
In the district of Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen, there are various facilities and services that support people with disabilities in entering or re-entering working life. These include support centers and supplementary service projects, workshops for people with disabilities (WfbM). They offer training opportunities, employment and individual support with the aim of enabling professional participation.
In addition, there are inclusive companies in which up to 50 percent of employees are people with severe disabilities. With their jobs subject to social insurance contributions, these companies create professional participation for people with disabilities. The "REHADAT addresses" information page provides a Germany-wide overview of inclusive companies.

Health, rehabilitation & care services
A serious accident or illness can suddenly and permanently change your life. How do you find your way back into everyday life and learn to deal with the new challenges? The first step is often medical rehabilitation, which is intended to promote both physical and mental healing. In this context, various outpatient and inpatient facilities such as specialist clinics, health centers and rehabilitation outpatient clinics offer tailor-made programs that are designed to meet people's individual needs.
In addition to medical rehabilitation, there are also numerous services that build on these measures and aim to achieve successful social and professional reintegration. These help to improve quality of life and facilitate integration into everyday life.
You can gain an insight into the variety of services and contact points for people with care needs and their relatives on the pages for senior citizens.
