What can I do currently as someone who's not in education or working?
I'm not trying to pull any cards but I had a mental health crisis and dropped out of college at the start of this year, I'm now 17, turning 18 in less than 2 weeks and I need to be either in education or on an apprenticeship / do work once I am 18. I'm confused as to what options I really have education wise, is it way too late to join a college course? If not what sort of courses am I able to sign up for?

Hi,
No its definitely not late to join college courses! You can either go to college or do some online , whichever you like. Have u tried volunteering? That may be a great way to spend doing something you care about and build up some work experience. Your mental health matters so take it easy and remember life is not a race so you dont need to rush to be anywhere. All the best!
