WorkWell

lauren.oconnor10@nhs.net (Lauren O'Connor) — Thu, 16 Jan 2025 12:12:18 +0000

WorkWell is a new initiative set to support thousands of people across the Black Country with health conditions and disabilities to find or retain employment to boost their wellbeing.

WorkWell is a service designed to support anyone with a health condition or disability to either:

Return/Remain in work
Find and Access work
Refer or signpost into various services available in your local area.

WorkWell will help individuals to build a personalised support plan based off their current needs, health conditions/disabilities and additional support that may be needed and then work together with organisations across the Black Country to provide joined up support for that individual.

During an individual’s referral into WorkWell additional/alternative support needs may be identified that may also support individuals. WorkWell aims to act as a single point of access to an individual’s health related support needs.

Managing the mental impact of unemployment

c.jones94@nhs.net (Charlotte Jones) — Wed, 06 Jul 2022 13:10:26 +0000

Some of the casualties of the pandemic have unfortunately been economic. Many workers have been furloughed or are now unemployed, and others have been unable to work from home, affecting their income. The resulting financial and economic stress can feel overwhelming and hard to escape, affecting our relationships, sleep and health. This can permeate every area of life, making it hard to think, focus and generally function. It can be easy to imagine this situation as being never-ending, and even easier to avoid tough conversations with loved ones. Like with any hardship, often the toughest thing to do is to look our financial stress in the eye, stay present, and deal with it.
