💚 Mental Health Awareness Week 2026 💚
11th–17th May

Employability Durham is proud to support Mental Health Awareness Week 2026. This year’s theme reminds us that small actions — for ourselves and for others — can make a real difference.

We know that mental health and wellbeing play a huge role in confidence, motivation, and moving forward with work, training, or personal goals. That’s why our advisers take a supportive, person‑centred approach, offering time to talk, practical guidance, and help to access the right support.

Whether it’s building confidence, reducing stress, or taking that first step back towards employment, we’re here to help — at a pace that feels right for you.

💬 You’re not alone.
💚 Support is available.
✨ Even small steps count.
