Our service works alongside the support already available through the NHS and your police force, including Occupational Health and Employee Assistance Programmes (EAP). We may ask if you’ve explored these options first, and if you’re currently employed, we may guide you back to them as a starting point.
You’re not on your own in this, we’re here to help you find the right support.
