Building bridges to education

Abstract

Since it started in May 1998, InterAct's Bridges to Education programme has helped over 1000 clients with mental health issues to access lifelong learning. The underlying purpose of the programme is to help clients involve themselves in their communities. Client feedback about the benefits is overwhelmingly positive. A few clients have not been helped. This article looks at factors that have led to the successes and factors that may have contributed to the small number of failures.
