Employment services
An individual can experience mental health
issues at any time in their life and one of the most difficult
things to overcome, concerns employment. People with mental
health needs can find it difficult to:
- find a route into employment
- retain employment
- get to back to work after being ill or
- find paid employment
Here in Kent we use our various contracts
with vocational and employment services to support people to get
into voluntary or paid employment, or maintain current
employment.
Some benefits of doing voluntary work or paid
employment include:
- Learning and building new skills
- Learning computer skills and achieving qualifications
- Building self-esteem and confidence
- Well being and mental health recovery
- Being independent
- Being part of the wider community
