Health Minister Edwin Poots has acknowledged the impact Action Mental Health (AMH) has had on the rehabilitation and training of people with mental health problems.
Speaking at the official opening of AMH's new offices in the Fisherwick Building, Belfast, the Minister said: "This new modern facility with the latest equipment is a credit to AMH and its enthusiasm to make life better for those with mental health problems.
"Training for any individual seeking work is crucial and it is no less essential for people who have had mental health problems.
"The wide range of NVQ's available in retail, business and administration, catering and customer services, along with other IT qualifications give clients the choice that best meets each of their requirements and interests, and this in turn will hopefully lead them to improved future employment prospects and build better futures for themselves and their families."
