Momentum's Work Matters service provides vocational rehabilitation and training to long-term unemployed people with mental health difficulties in Renfrewshire.

Work Matters helps clients to gain skills and qualifications and to secure employment, encouraging them to move towards social and economic independence.

The service is based in the Charleston Centre in Paisley, a modern, purpose-built Mental Health Resource Centre. The full-time programme provides skills training and practical work experience leading to industry-recognised qualifications and offers courses in desktop publishing, information technology, business administration and catering.

Each client follows an individually tailored programme to prepare them for the job market. Structured, hands-on training is provided on site in the Work Matters design studio, general office and Weavers Café and is combined with work placements offered by local employers, enabling clients to acquire the skills they need to enter mainstream employment.

Momentum's specialist staff offer support throughout the programme, including help with stress management, assertiveness, communications skills and problem solving. Clients are also encouraged to better understand the issues surrounding mental health and the workplace. A job club provides clients with practical support in their search for employment.
