Additional funding to help people with mental illness find and stay in work has been announced.
A total of £1.3 million has been secured for Haringey and will be used to support people with long-term mental illness into work.
The new service will be provided by employment experts working in community mental health teams in close collaboration with clinical staff.
The scheme has been shown to significantly increase the job prospects of people with mental illness.
Research also demonstrates that getting jobs can be a crucial factor in helping people recover from mental illness as well as improving their overall health and wellbeing.
The programme will be delivered in partnership by Haringey Council, Haringey Clinical Commissioning Group, Social Finance, and Barnet, Enfield and Haringey Mental Health Trust and will start later this year.
