Training and Employment

Welcome to Hull and East Yorkshire Mind's Training and Employment page. Find information about our vocational support services and our specialist training on this page.

Vocational Support

Initial Steps, Forward Thinking and Pathways to Work all offer exciting different methods of support. A short term support option, Initial Steps, offers a 6-week programme aimed at people who are furthest away from being job ready.

For people that are more interested in learning how to more effectively and actively find employment, Pathways to Work is HEY Mind’s specialist service. This is aimed at people who are experiencing poor mental health and claiming Incapacity Benefits/Employment Support Allowance.

Forward Thinking offers a comprehensive range of vocational support including personal development courses, condition management, computerised CBT and work tasters/placements.

Finally, the Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) programme is aimed at helping people deal with depression and anxiety disorders in work. All projects offer specialist 1-to-1 support.
