Pilot Programme Scotland

To validate the concept, we plan to launch a pilot centre in Edinburgh or Glasgow. The program will collect measurable data to present to the government, demonstrating its financial and social impact and paving the way for a nationwide rollout of government-backed centres.

A Clear Outcome

The goal of each Empath Centre is to equip clients with the skills, resilience, and networks to transition successfully into employment, further education, or entrepreneurship. Every graduate will leave fully prepared to meet the challenges of the outside world, with a clear pathway to a sustainable future.

How?

Our Empath Centres will provide a daily rhythm of purpose and structure.

We will provide support and facilities in sport, exercise, cooking, nutrition, music, financial planning, life skills, careers advice.

The team will host trauma-informed support and peer community groups and 1-1 sessions. Our end goal is to carve out pathways to jobs, apprenticeships, or education on to graduation to empower people with the correct tools to live a full and independent life.
The centres are backed by private-sector infrastructure and social impact investors that believe that this is a positive step to reducing relapses back into mental health care.

We are aimed at creating taxpayers, not lifelong service users.

“1:4 people will experience a mental health crisis. Empath Centres are designed to cut relapse rates by up to 50%.”
