Who: Thie webinar is delivered by Remploy

“Heavily impacted by the coronavirus outbreak, millions of us are now working from home, on furlough, redeployed, or dealing with additional stresses and challenges in our lives, all of which can have a negative effect on our mental health.

Delivered by Remploy, the Access to Work Mental Health Support Service, funded by the Department for Work and Pensions, can help employees and employers during this difficult time with their mental health.

​Completely confidential, the service is available at no charge to anyone with depression, anxiety, stress or other mental health issues, affecting their work. We’ve already helped thousands of people across England, Scotland and Wales, to remain in, or return to work, so our expertise speaks for itself.

​Led by Chris Kingsbury and Bethany Kimberley, this webinar will introduce the service, covering facts and statistics around mental health. It also looks at the service’s aims, eligibility criteria and referral process, plus what support and workplace adjustments are available at home, in an office, or other places of work.

​Join this webinar to find out how Remploy can support you, your colleagues and your organisation with any mental health and wellbeing issues during these challenging and unprecedented times.”
