About the Project
Cyfle Cymru helps people affected by substance misuse and/or mental health conditions across Wales to develop confidence and provides support for individuals to access training, qualifications and work experience or volunteering. Our committed team of Peer Mentors draw on their own experience of substance use, recovery and/or mental health conditions to support individuals towards work.
Who do we support?
We support individuals towards and into work if they are: aged 16 to 24 and not in employment, education or training; are aged 25 or over and are long-term unemployed or economically inactive; live in Cardiff & Vale of Glamorgan, Dyfed, North Wales, Powys or Swansea Bay; are in recovery from substance use and/or mental health issues.
How do we do it?
Cyfle Cymru provides the support individuals need to find the right job, training opportunity or qualifications. We’re experienced in treatment and rehabilitation and understand your recovery, so you can trust us to help you make the right decisions. We can offer:
- One-to-one guidance from a peer mentor who can draw on their own experience of substance use, recovery and/or mental health conditions
- Specialist employment support; including training courses, volunteering opportunities and help and advice on how to search and apply for jobs
- We work closely with major employers to ensure that we’ve got the connections you need to find a rewarding new job
- Support that continues after you enter employment, training or education to help you settle in
