Engage to Change: enhancing employment opportunities for people with a learning disability or autism
The theme for World Mental Health Day 2017 is workplace wellbeing. We know that being employed can contribute to well-being through increasing income and helping people move off welfare benefit subsistence levels. Work can motivate people, helping to provide purpose, enabling contribution and stability. In turn, it can enable greater access to goods and services and help to improve people’s material quality of life.
