Self-refer to Shropshire and Telford & Wrekin Staff Wellbeing Hub

  • The Shropshire and Telford & Wrekin Staff Wellbeing Hub offers a confidential mental health and emotional wellbeing support service to NHS and social care staff. The Hub (based in Shrewsbury, Shropshire) has recently been commissioned to offer a service to staff in the Herefordshire and Worcestershire ICB system; with current funding available until March 2024.
  • The Hub offers a person-centred telephone assessment, followed either by brief therapeutic intervention (delivered via MS Teams) or signposting to an appropriate service. The team includes a High Intensity CBT Therapist, Occupational Therapist, Counsellor, Psychological Wellbeing Practitioners and Assistant Psychologists; all of whom offer a range of therapeutic approaches tailored to individual need.
  • You can refer yourself to receive support for any difficulties you are experiencing in the following ways:
  • This is a fully confidential service, so it does not reach out to your employer or GP as standard without consent. The only time it will break any confidentiality is if it is felt that you or someone else is at harm, and the Hub will always try to discuss this with you at the time.

You can find further information about the Hub at Psychological Wellbeing Hub (Shropshire and Telford & Wrekin) website

Feedback

Really helped me at a difficult time. They listened to me and gave me advice on how to deal with anxiety at work and home. Felt like a weight was lifted from my shoulders after chatting!
