Many of us have mental health challenges from time-to-time. If the way you are feeling is affecting your daily life or you are struggling to cope, feeling low, anxious or overwhelmed by your thoughts and feelings, it can help to self-refer to NHS Talking Therapies for evidence-based treatment. This can help with mental health issues, including depression, excessive worry, social anxiety or post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). In the South West, 90% of people see a therapist within 6 weeks.
Our EAP Spectrum Life offers confidential in-the-moment support and advice 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to help you to stay well and manage mild-moderate mental health issues. Services include short-term counselling (if clinically appropriate), emotional support and advice for a range of topics including financial, legal, career, health and family issues. Call 0800 196 2016 or visit the Spectrum Life web page for further details and contact options.
