We offer ideas and solutions based on individual needs. We work closely with our clients and employers to assist the client stay in work.

The types of support we offer include:

We also run a weekly session focused on work issues i.e. job searching. We also hold a monthly support group (out of hours) if you are already working but would like extra assistance.

People are referred to us through:
