If you are passionate about making a difference, and want to work with people with challenges to their mental health to overcome those non-medical barriers, we want to hear from you We’re open to seeing how this project will develop, and what types of outcomes we’ll be able to achieve together.

We’re looking to support people with overcoming their problems, particularly focussed on welfare benefits, debt, housing and employment. Providing some stability on money, housing and employment (if relevant).

We are open to recruiting a Trainee adviser, with successful completion and sign-off of training required by end of probation.

**Some background on this pilot**: Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder (EUPD) is a type of personality disorder. Mind has a really useful page on thisfor more information.

When developing this idea, we consulted with 234 people with EUPD - 94.9% said they wanted to use a free advice, support and advocacy service designed for them in mind - with some focus on help with benefits, support with financial matters, help with employment issues, housing, helping them articulate their voice on issues impacting them, and finding training opportunities.

We asked, (if they’re not), why people with EUPD are not accessing support already. The overwhelming answer was around stigma and feeling they would be judged and not understood.
