What is it?


FEAT's Journey to Work programme helps people within Fife who are struggling with a mental health difficulty to move back towards work. Journey to Work consists of a comprehensive range of support measures in order to meet the needs of the individual and consists of 4 broad areas:

 These one-off courses are delivered once a month for 2 hours. Within the CV workshop we discuss what makes a good CV and covering letter. During the interview workshop we discuss anxieties around interviews, how we might manage them and how to prepare for an interview. In disclosure workshops we explore the pros and cons of telling employers about your mental health.
