Mind and method
Support from the Employment and Skills Pod
After being unemployed for six months, I was referred to the Employment and Skills Pod for support. My previous working environment had been toxic and stressful, negatively impacting my mental health. I felt anxious and overwhelmed.
Hope restored
When I was struggling to afford rising living costs, I went to the Employment and Skills Pod for help finding a job to increase my income.
An Information, Advice and Guidance (IAG) Officer referred me to Citizens Advice for financial support, conducted a full benefits review, and provided ongoing support. They helped me regain my confidence to return to work.
