Combining vocational and mental health support services for youth builds hope and improves mental wellbeing.

Headspace National Youth Mental Health Foundation supports the mental health and wellbeing of young people aged 12–25 through face-to-face centres, online services, and phone support.  Headspace services include vocational supports which helps over 6000 young people each year with their work and study goals while also supporting their mental health.   

On November 25, the Australian Centre for Career Education hosted a panel discussion featuring senior Headspace staff and one of their youth clients to understand how vocational services have provided hope.

The discussion included their latest research on the benefits of Integrated Individual Placement and Support (IPS) services in overcoming educational/vocational challenges and improving mental wellbeing.
