Through tailored support, we empower people to gain, sustain, and thrive in work - unlocking confidence, stability and a brighter future. We understand the impact of living with challenging mental health, and since 1995 our unwavering mission has always been to support people on their recovery journey through positive employment. Every year we help thousands of Londoners with mental health challenges to find fulfilling work, regain confidence, and take the next step in their careers and beyond.

 

We believe meaningful employment is a cornerstone of mental health recovery.

 

We are a leader in implementing the Individual Placement Support (IPS) model of employment support, trailblazing IPS in Primary Care and innovating with the model in Secondary Care, across North, East and West London. We have also cemented our stake in providing Employment Advisor support to NHS Talking Therapies in North and West London.

 

Recognising the acute need for mental health support for young people from ethnically diverse communities we also provide an online mentoring programme for 18–24-year-olds, to help them achieve their work and life goals.

 

To help create the right job opportunities for the people we support, Twining-Hestia also works directly with employers, handpicked for their desire to create an inclusive and diverse workforce which values mental wellbeing, and challenges stigma and discrimination.
