The EMH Project aims to create competitive employment opportunities for people who face barriers to work in the Borough of Sutton. Using an individual placement and support approach, the project works with each individual establishing their experience, interest and motivators as well as looking at their ongoing training and support needs. The aim is to secure employment suited to that individual quickly and incorporate further support and training to ensure that the employment is sustained.Working with employers, the project brokers training in Mental Health Awareness and Mental Health First aid as well as 'Lunchtime'​ sessions which include Mindfullness, Stress Management. The aim of these courses is to not only provide a 'healther workplace' for the existing and new employees but also to challenge the stigma currently associated with mental health within the borough, making it easier for people to talk about and discuss with their employer and thus aiding in overall retention and absence management.Referrals come via existing services including Sutton Uplift, Imagine Mental Health, Community Mental Health Services, Sutton Mental Health Foundation, MENCAP and SCOLA. To be eligible for referral to the project, individuals must be working with one of these partners.The project has been in place since January 2015 and first placement into Employment was in March 2015. So far, the project has achieved a 73% success rate from referral to placement with an overall 90% retention rate for individuals in the roles they have secured.
