Step Forward is a citywide service that provides tailored one to one support for NEET young people where mental health is a barrier to them progressing toward work, employment or training.
Our team engage, inspire and motivate young people to raise aspirations and take positive steps towards work and learning by identifying underlying needs and barriers. The service aims to build confidence, provide new experiences, develop life skills and ways to manage their wellbeing. Young people are supported to set goals and aspirations so that they can get the most from education, employment and training.
