Two Ways Mentoring Program
Empowering individuals. Educating workplaces. Building inclusive communities.
Finding your way into work looks different for everyone: a first job, a return after time away, a step into volunteering or study. For people living with a mental health condition, getting there is often about more than the job search itself. It might need steady support alongside you, and a workplace that understands how to support you.
This is why Two Ways Mentoring works with both. We walk alongside you as you work towards employment, study or volunteering, at whatever pace is right for you. And we work with employers to create workplaces that are ready to support you well.
What we offer
Support is shaped around you and might include:
- Individual Support: regular one-on-one support from a mentor focused on the goals you set together.
- Employment preparedness: practical help with resumes, applications and interview preparation.
- Understanding workplaces: clear information about your rights at work, and what you can reasonably expect from an employer.
- Volunteering and study: support to explore volunteering, training or study as a step towards where you want to be in the future.
We also work directly with local businesses and organisations:
- Mental health education: workshops and training that build understanding, reduce stigma, support inclusive hiring and help embed everyday wellbeing practices in line with current NT workplace obligations.
- Support for employers: practical guidance for employers who employ someone with mental health challenges, so the workplace is well placed to support them.
