Thank you to Wiltshire Council for the funding from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. This is a fantastic initiative to promote emotional wellbeing in Wiltshire by giving businesses the tools to support their employees mental health. Together with our program partners we will offer a range of proven resources to build resilience, encourage openness and provide support where it’s needed.Amanda Wilkes
Executive Director of HELP Counselling Services
Once registered we provide an online open session for selected Wiltshire Businesses to hear more about the project and how they can support their employees. Together with our partners Wiltshire Wildlife Trust, Wiltshire MIND & Open Minds, the project aims to support employers and employees, to reduce stigma of mental health issues, sustain employment and improve mental wellbeing in our communities.
Following the open session employees will be able to contact the HELP Counselling Services directly to set up sessions with one of our professionally trained counsellors and start on the road of emotional wellbeing.
We are calling on employers in Wiltshire to register their interest and join one of our online sessions to hear more and access our services.
