“Having been out of the workplace for a few years due to my mental health, I was looking to prepare to return. When I started going to Oakleaf, I used the IT suite to refresh my MS excel skills, completing the guided course. I re-learnt those lost skills and added some extra ones so I felt a lot more confident walking into work. That boost to my self esteem was extremely helpful. I believe that Oakleaf’s support really made all the difference in so many aspects of my return to the workplace being successful.” – past Oakleaf client
