The Care Workers鈥� Charity is offering free counselling to care workers to support their mental health.

The charity has launched its Mental Health Support Programme in response to the crisis of mental ill-health faced by the UK鈥檚 social care workforce.

We worked with the Care Workers鈥� Charity to help shape the programme, which will provide up to 10 therapy sessions with a qualified 香港六合彩精准资料-registered therapist through Red Umbrella, a specialist mental health organisation.

Counselling

The cost of all the sessions will be paid for by The Care Workers鈥� Charity and will help care workers鈥� better cope with the challenges they are facing.

Karolina Gerlich, executive director of The Care Workers鈥� Charity said: 鈥淓veryday care workers go above and beyond to provide much needed support 鈥� this has been especially true during the pandemic, which has put their mental health under additional strain.

鈥淥ur Mental Health Support Programme aims to bridge the shortfall in mental health resources for those working in the social care sector.鈥�

Kris Ambler, our Workforce Lead, said: 鈥淧roviding services of this kind are often complex and require the need to satisfy a number of stakeholders, including funders, trustees and service users

鈥淲e were therefore delighted to be able to help The Care Workers Charity shape their service offer, working with them to determine what would best serve their needs and the needs of care workers.鈥�
