What we do

Cyfle Cymru Peer Mentors help people to develop confidence, and provide support to access training, qualifications and work experience.
We help people affected by substance misuse and/or mental health conditions to gain the skills necessary to enter the world of work.

We offer:
>>> One-to-one support from a peer mentor
Our peer mentors draw on their own experience of substance misuse, recovery, and/or mental health conditions. They understand what you are going through, and can be with you when you face new experiences. Our expertise in treatment and recovery means you can trust us to help you make the right decisions.
>>> Specialist support and opportunities
> access to qualifications and training
> a chance to give something back to your community
> real-life work experience
> help to search and apply for jobs
> continuing support after you enter work, training or education to help you settle in

Funded by the Welsh Government.
