Opening doors for Cristian
Cristian is one of many job seekers who struggled to find employment as he battled anxiety and depression.
After fighting mental illness for 10 years without a job he signed up with our Disability Employment Services program.
Not only did he get the support he needed to advance his job search, he successfully gained long term work which helped improved his mental health.
Achieving personal goals
With help from his APM employment consultant Rita, Cristian was able to fight off the urge to lock himself away from the world, or stay in bed all day, and focus on achieving his goals.
Cristian didn’t just want to earn money, he wanted a job he could perform well in and also provide more for his young son.
Rita introduced Cristian to local employers so he could see the jobs available near him and build his confidence meeting new people.
Improving health
When Rita wanted to prepare Cristian for job interviews, she encouraged him to wear smart and appropriate clothes for mock interviews. This made him much more comfortable for the real thing.
When Medico Hygiene Services approached APM looking for new members to join their warehouse team, Cristian was put forward.
After impressing his employer in an interview Cristian was offered the chance to join the business, and he hasn’t looked back.
In just a few weeks Cristian felt a big improvement in his mental health.
