Staff Support

Our staff are part of our community too, and their mental health and wellbeing matter.

This World Mental Health Day, we are also shining a light on the support available to colleagues across our Trust. From wellbeing initiatives and practical support to services that can help during more difficult times, we are proud of the work taking place to support our people.

We hope that sharing this also encourages other organisations to think about how they support the mental health and wellbeing of their own workforce.
