The Maysville-based Comprehend Inc. was one of four sites in the state selected for a pilot program called Supported Employment, The Ledger-Independent reported.

Other facilities that will participate include Northkey in Covington, Communicare in Elizabethtown and Four Rivers in Paducah.

Comprehend's program, Buffalo Trace Career Solutions, will screen candidates in a five-county area for eligibility. The program will then help participants find and keep employment.

Pamela Vaught, CEO of Comprehend, said last week that the goal of the program is to give individuals with mental illness a sense of pride and community contribution.
