  • What are the ways to support staff who are standing fast in a country with a changing medical and security environment?
With the current levels of uncertainty and pressures in many people’s lives, mental health awareness and emotional wellbeing is a pressing issue for individuals and organisations alike. Increasing knowledge, accessing professional support, learning how to cope with psychological distress and being aware of the stress that others may be under can help greatly.

Our emotional support services assist your workforce in dealing with any psychological issues while at home or away for business, and for which short-term counselling may be appropriate.
Our broader Mental health support services includes:

Critical Support Hotline is a 30-day telephonic crisis support service designed for organisations impacted by a specific incident and whose employees may require immediate emotional support. The service is supported by Workplace Options.

The Emotional Support Service (facilitated by Workplace Options) provides 24/7 assessment and recommendation by a Mental Health Professional Counselor.
