    Poor mental health makes it harder to find work, and being out of work negatively impacts mental health. Thousands are trapped in this seemingly hopeless cycle, without the self-belief or support to make positive steps to take back their futures. Recent reports show that almost ¼ of unemployed young people believe their life will amount to nothing, no matter how hard they try. While entering employment is part of the solution, this reality feels unattainable for those struggling the most.

    Employment is proven to improve wellbeing and stabilise those struggling with mental health. So, we will upskill and support more vulnerable young people facing barriers to employment, including anxiety and depression. Our expert coaches will equip them with the practical tools they need to get a job, and address the deep-rooted issues and attitudes that prevent them from leading more fulfilling lives. 75% of our trainees enter and sustain employment, breaking the cycle of unemployment for good.
