Mental Health & Wellbeing Support for Black Country Staff via Shropshire and Telford & Wrekin Staff Wellbeing Hub

December 5, 2023

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 Black Country ICS 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.

Common referral themes include bereavement, anxiety, depression, workplace stress, workplace bullying, cost of living effects, relationship issues, sexual abuse/assault, emotional abuse, and trauma.

You can refer yourself to receive support for any difficulties you are experiencing in the following ways:

This is a fully confidential service, so the Hub 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.

In addition to therapeutic support, the Hub also offers webinars on a range of topics which are open to all staff, whether referred to the service or not – if you would be interested in finding out more about these then please get in touch with the team via email or telephone to ask to be placed the Hub’s mailing list.
