HOPE for Work

One in three participants of our Health Optimisation Program for Employment (HOPE) program has got a job in the six months following the program.

HOPE provides job seekers with tools to manage their mental health while looking for work as well as in those first months at work that can often be the most stressful. Participants are referred by clinical mental health teams, psychiatric disability rehabilitation services and disability employment services.

"I never thought I could work. I always though I would be sick and at hospital and living with mum and dad. Now I have even done a training certificate. I see my friends and we talk about work and clothes and what the stars are doing – you know? We don’t talk about being sick."
Narelle, social firm employee

"We contracted the social firm to do our annual meeting – the food was fantastic and the service faultless but mostly we were just pleased that our contract gave some disadvantaged folk real work."
