Other South West Services

The National Institute of Mental Health England (NIMHE) South West, which is leading on the implementation of the employment aspects of the Mental Health & Social Exclusion agenda is setting up a Regional Employment Team comprising of major stakeholders. These will be brought together at a summit in September to develop a strategic plan for employment and mental health in the South West.

 

As part of WorkWAYS’ work for NIMHE, we have been asked to develop some earlier research done by ourselves and others around the country to gather information about services in the region who offer employment-related information, advice, guidance and support to people with mental health problems and/or to employers.

 

To do this, we have started a ‘Google Map’ and we would like your help in developing it.

 

We would like to include services, organizations and agencies who offer such assistance - whether specialists in mental health or generic disability or mainstream. We wish to gather information about services who operate in the South West (that is Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, Bristol and former Avon, Somerset, Dorset, Devon and Cornwall) including private, public and voluntary sector organisations and those who provide training, education and voluntary work opportunities.

 

Please click on the link shown above, take a look at the map and let us know about:

Needless to say, we also hope the availability of this new resource will be valuable to your own work.
