CU Thru'
CU Thru'
The project works with 16-30 year olds who have experienced mental health problems. The young person must want to use the service for his or her own development. We aim to offer easy access, choice, flexibility, confidentiality and a commitment to the involvement of the service users in deciding how services are provided.
The aim of the project is to increase the employability of the service user. This is achieved by short-term focused work in areas such as:
Confidence building
Developing relationships
Coping with Stress
Communication and interpersonal skills
Presentation and interview skills
Managing Stress
Organisational skills
A balanced lifestyle
Dealing with peer pressure
We use different methods of engagement to support our service users, some of which are:
One-to-one support
Personal development plans
Group work
Bringing in external specialists
Exploring choices
Support to set-up and maintain placements in training, voluntary work or paid employment
Making referrals to other agencies if appropriate
We accept referrals from a large number of agencies including: Community Mental Health Team, psychiatrists, social workers, voluntary organisations and self referrals. We work closely with referrers throughout the time of contact with the young person.
