Our mission is simple yet profound;

We are ACDCForYou

ACDCForYou

Neurodiversity-affirming employment, training, and support for young people aged 16–30

ACDCForYou empowers neurodivergent and mental-health-impacted young people to build confidence, develop real-world skills, and create meaningful pathways into work and independence. We combine genuine care with professional expertise to deliver personalised support that adapts to each person’s communication style, sensory needs, and learning preferences.

Our approach is strengths-based, trauma-informed, and designed for young people who need something different from mainstream employment services.

Specialised pathways for ages 16–30

Our employment support is built specifically for neurodivergent young people and those experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, or executive functioning challenges. We do not use generic job seeker templates, we create flexible, personalised pathways that honour each individual’s pace and wellbeing.

· Low-pressure, high-support sessions (online, in-person, micro-sessions, sensory-friendly options)

· Executive functioning support: planning, organisation, motivation, overwhelm management

· Hands-on learning through real projects, not worksheets
