Staff mental health and wellbeing hubs have been set up during the COVID-19 pandemic to provide health and social care colleagues rapid access to assessment and local evidence-based mental health services and support where needed. Their roll out was announced in February 2021, with 40 hubs set to open across the country. All of these hubs are now live.
The hub offer is confidential and free of charge for all health and social care staff.
The hubs can provide colleagues with a clinical assessment and referral to local service enabling access to support where needed, such as talking therapy or counselling. It is separate and confidential from their organisation.
It is open to all health and social care staff, from all services and settings regardless of whether they are dealing directly with COVID-19 patients or not. Staff can self-refer or refer a colleague (with their consent).
