Not such a great branch of the organisation. They may be good at teaching Photoshop and printing onto shorts and coffee mugs, as well as helping people find jobs who are ready to work. But the attitude that they have here is really bad and they don't seem to have a great deal of respect unless you are just going along with what they want, rather than finding out what skills people have and encouraging them with that whilst helping them to develop more (which sort of defeats the whole point of it being an organisation to support people with mental illnesses to begin with). I found that they tended to make quite a lot of assumptions about me and didn't always listen to what I had to say, as well having quite a patronising and judgemental attitude and I didn't feel that the people who worked there always came across as being that professional (even though they try to come across as laid back and easy going). If you can live with that then perhaps you will get something out of it, although I think that this may become a bit of a problem for people out there who are more sensitive about things.
