After a year of hard work graduates celebrated in style before they head off to start their new jobs in mental health.

Eleven people successfully completed a post-graduate course at the University of Southampton to qualify for their new roles. They will now start full-time jobs as practitioners at Eastleigh-based italk, a psychological therapy service run by Solent Mind and the Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust. The group will help people with mild to moderate depression and anxiety through telephone appointments.
