Lothians and Edinburgh Abstinence Programme (LEAP) NHS Lothian | Our Services

Education, Training and Employability

Education, training and employment are protective factors against relapse. Partnering organisations are focused on helping LEAP patients reach their full potential in these areas. 

In weekly sessions during the LEAP programme, Encompass deliver a modular training programme which leads to a qualification (SQA) being awarded.

Most LEAP graduates go on to complete the full Encompass programme in Edinburgh, leading to further qualifications. Encompass also offer opportunities for job placement and work experience. Every client has an Encompass key worker to support them.  

Additional training support is offered to improve patients’ soft skills e.g. communication, teamwork, time management, leadership and creativity.
