About

Change Mental Health’s award-winning Employability Support Project provides opportunities for personal development and employability skills improvement. Using a person-centred and intergenerational approach those referred can participate in meaningful group activities and one-to-one support at our location on Dumfries’ Munches Street, our Stranraer base in the Millennium Centre on George Street, or at our resource centres in Annan and Castle Douglas.
Individuals accessing this support across Dumfries and Galloway engage in a range of activities that are closely aligned with their own interests. Skills development opportunities are embedded into all group activities, allowing people to learn new skills or improve existing ones while doing something they enjoy.
Those referred to the project will also be offered task-focused one-to-one support to enable them to create a CV, apply for further educational opportunities, try out volunteering, or look for paid employment.
