Employment Support

"Employment Support"

About: Adult Mental Health Services - Community (County) / IPS Future's Positive

(as a service user),

I have been using the mental health support team employment support services for little over a year now and cannot thank them enough for the help and support I have received.

They have helped build my confidence and also build my CV. They have assisted with job searches and grant applications as well as signposting me to training and other services.

We meet regularly and it is very reassuring to know that someone is there for you, and you are not alone. As result of this service, I now work part time for the Council, and I am undertaking teacher training at level 4. I would have achieved none of this on my own. The other useful aspect is that they act as interlocutor with my physiatrist who is armed with the information provided when I next see her.

I can recommend this service to anyone who needs it.

Hello MidNotts2022

Thank you for sharing your story. I'm so pleased you have found the employment services helpful. Even better to hear that you now have a job and are doing your teacher training.

I'm sure your story will give hope to others that things can get better; and inspire others to ask to be referred to the employment service.

Wishing you all the best in your continued journey of recovery, Tracey
