I was given hope that I can secure employment that I really enjoy!

headspace Kalgoorlie have helped many youth secure meaningful employment through their Individual Placement & Support(IPS) program.

This is Emma’s story..

My goal was to obtain part time or full time employment in a role that interests me.

I had been stuck doing jobs that weren’t right for me, I wasn’t studying and I didn’t know where to go next. I ended up getting connected with headspace Kalgoorlie and their IPS program.

My Mental Health Counsellors name was Deb and she was great! She would send me potential job interests and show me trainee-ships that I didn’t know about.

Once Deb started leading me in the right direction, she then helped me to actively apply for jobs and prepare for interviews.

Through this process the team taught me to be patient and not to rush the process, so that I would receive the best outcome.

People around me could see just how helpful this program was for me, with someone close to me saying “I’m glad you found someone to help you to achieve this goal.”

Thank you headspace for giving me hope that there are jobs out there for me that I will enjoy doing, and for helping me with my journey to securing one.
