What we do
How we work:
We're developing the service to make sure clients are at the centre of the support we offer. This means helping individuals to develop personal action plans which focus on their strengths, skills, values, aspirations and opportunities.
Our employment advisors are specifically trained to recognise and work with individuals with mental health problems and they concentrate on what someone can do rather on what they can't.
We help individuals through one to ones, group work, phone, online and emai. We work closely with Job Centre Plus, Bristol Chamber of Commerce and major local employers to maximise the opportunities available to our clients.
We're working in partnership with Mental Health Matters, Bristol Somali Resource Centre and Windmill Hill City Farm to maximise local opportunities and meet the needs of Bristol's diverse communities.
Where we do it
Our service is delivered at Windmill City Farm, Philips Road, Bristol.
How to access
Our services are available to anyone over the age of 18 who lives in the Bristol area and who has a mental health problem.
