Confused!

[Lene]

I have anxiety and depression, my job provider are not that helpful, I was wondering if anyone one knows of a good job provider in Adelaide that deals with people with mental illnesses?

Hi Lene,

Firstly, welcome to the forums.

I am not sure we are able to give that information out on these forums. You say your employer doesn't support you which I understand, have you spoken to your GP about how you are feeling and what options you have?

My best for you,

Jay

hi Lene, what I would do is ring the BB phone number, they will be able to guide you. Geoff.

Hi Lene!

Thanks for your post.

I'm sorry that your job provider isn't helpful 😞

Unfortunately we're not able to recommend anything specific here but I can recommend this one - if you enter your postcode it will show a list of job providers in your area.

If you can focus on the ones that are disability providers as they have much more experience (and tact!) when talking about mental illness!

Personally though I have been to a few different job providers and not found them helpful. I think that it actually might be more about the person themselves rather than the agency. Especially if you are required to look for work as part of Centrelink (which may/may not be the case) they can often be more pushy. I've heard (but haven't experienced) that private job providers can actually be more helpful - so maybe this is something you want to consider.

Hope this helps!
