What if your job was helping someone get theirs?

We're looking for Project SEARCH Job Skills Trainers in the Jackson area, Pascagoula, and Grenada to help young adults with disabilities gain the skills, confidence, and experience needed to enter the workforce.

This is an opportunity to make a lasting impact—not just on a participant's career, but on their future.

🧠 June is Alzheimer's & Brain Awareness Month 💜

Our brains are at the center of everything we do—from our memories and independence to how we connect with the world around us. This month serves as a reminder of the importance of brain health, early awareness, and supporting those affected by neurological conditions.

MDRS' Office of Special Disability Programs works every day to help Mississippians facing life-changing challenges related to traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and other disabilities live as independently as possible.

As we celebrate the 30th anniversary of the TBI/SCI Trust Fund this year, we also recognize three decades of helping Mississippians rebuild lives, regain independence, and find hope after injury.

Together, let's raise awareness, support prevention efforts, and continue working toward healthier futures for all.

🏊‍♀️🎉 From first splashes on Monday to graduation day today, these campers showed just how much can happen in one week.

Congratulations to the participants of the 3rd Annual Adaptive Swim Camp at Mississippi State University!

Throughout the week, campers worked alongside trained instructors and volunteers to build water safety skills, gain confidence, and achieve milestones that may have seemed out of reach just days before. Today, they celebrate those accomplishments as they graduate from camp.

MDRS is proud that the Office of Special Disability Programs' Traumatic Brain Injury/Spinal Cord Injury Trust Fund helps sponsor this adaptive swim program, creating opportunities for individuals with disabilities to learn essential water safety skills, increase independence, and gain confidence in and around the water.

Congratulations to this year's graduates, their families, and the dedicated staff, students, and volunteers who made another successful Adaptive Swim Camp possible!

💙 Every achievement started with a first step—or in this case, a first splash.
