New employment counselling to support unemployed people in Denbighshire

RCS are pleased to have been awarded Shared Prosperity Funding for a new counselling programme for unemployed and economically inactive people in Denbighshire.

Working closely with Working Denbighshire’s Barod programme, RCS’s WorkWell Denbighshire will support unemployed and economically inactive people in Denbighshire whose primary barrier to employment is a long-term mental health condition.

They will receive up to nine sessions of confidential counselling support through RCS’s in-house counselling team and associate providers.  The support will help participants to: 

• Develop coping strategies
• Improve self-esteem
• Build resilience
• Engage effectively with employability support and move closer to the labour market.

Previous feedback has been extremely positive:

“I have felt listened to and cared for and found the counselling to be extremely helpful.”

“I thoroughly enjoyed it and learnt good coping mechanisms.”

“It really helped me back into employment after years of mental illness.”

RCS looks forward to working with Barod and other partners to ensure as many people as possible are able to benefit from our specialist support.
