PARKWYN TRAINING & CONSULTING (PTC) was established to support the SSI/SSDI Outreach, Access, & Recovery (SOAR) model of Social Security disability benefit application assistance. Our goal is to help states and communities maximize income, and advocate for services that support individuals experiencing or at risk of homelessness.
Why SOAR?
For individuals with disabling health conditions that impact their ability to work, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits can be life changing. However, the application process is complex and especially challenging for those experiencing or at risk of homelessness who have a severe mental illness. SOAR is a model of application assistance that addresses these barriers and has been proven to reduce application processing time and increase approval rates.
Why Parkwyn Training & Consulting?
While many organizations offer training on the Social Security disability application process, Parkwyn Training & Consulting (PTC) goes further. We know that training is only as effective as the support that follows. Our SOAR Plus! training includes follow-up and ongoing assistance and guidance. We ensure that our SOAR-trained providers feel supported and confident as they put what they have learned into practice.
Our Services
PTC offers a wide range of training, technical assistance, and support services that can be tailored to the needs of your state, community, or agency. Our goal is to build systems that are designed for long-term success.
