Description

Take Charge is a service in Christchurch that engages with young preople aged 18-24 years that have mild to moderate mental health issues and are looking for work or study. We help empower them to take their next step and to facilitate the steps along the way. We work alongside them and give them the skills needed to climb the ladder of whatever they want to achieve, be it study or finding work.

We offer 12 months support to find work or study and then up to 12 months support to maintain this.
