Your health and wellbeing at work is our highest priority and we are always looking for ways we can enhance the support provided.
Able Futures delivers the Access to Work Mental Health Support Service which is funded by the Department for Work and Pensions and is available to employees who may be experiencing issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, or struggling to deal with problems such as debt, disrupted sleep or relationship breakdowns that may be affecting your mental health.
There’s no charge to use the service and over a period of up to nine months, support from Able Futures can help you learn how to take care of yourself enabling you to feel more confident in tackling issues and learning new ways to manage your mental health.
