Coventry & Warwickshire Employment Support Referrals: 0247 667 1090General enquiries & 24/7 Helpline: 0800 616 171Opening hours: Monday to Friday, 9am - 5pm What we do: MHM are working with Coventry & Warwickshire Partnership NHS Trust to provide employment related support to individuals who are also accessing the Coventry & Warwickshire NHS Talking Therapies service. The Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Talking Therapies Service is part of this government initiative to provide easily accessible, evidence based treatments for people experiencing common mental health problems such as anxiety and depression. The aim of the NHS Talking Therapies service is to help people across the county to be able to access psychological therapy and social care support, to help them achieve better psychological health and wellbeing, enabling them to gain or remain in employment and to participate in daily living activities. We work alongside the NHS Talking Therapies team to provide specialist employment support for their clients. We know that keeping or finding a job can be difficult when you are feeling anxious, depressed or unwell. If our service is right for you, one of our Employment Advisors will work with you to support you towards your own employment goals. They will help you to identify your strengths and skills, and to develop through experience, volunteering and training which is tailored to suit your needs. If you are already working and experience difficulty in the work place then an employment coach can provide you with support and assistance whilst you deal with your challenges and decide how you wish to proceed, including support if you wish to change positions or careers. We understand that your needs and mental health can change, so all the support we provide is flexible and responsive, and focuses on empowering you to take control of your own wellbeing and support. We also work with local employers to raise their awareness about mental health in the workplace and what they can do to support their employees. Everyone who accesses our service can also access our 24/7 helpline. The Helpline is staffed by Level 3 trained Counsellors and can provide emotional support, practical advice, and guidance separate to that of your Employment Advisor. You may be feeling stressed, anxious or low and just want to talk to someone, or feel there is nowhere else to turn late at night. Talking to someone on our Helpline can give you a feeling of relief, peace of mind and help improve your wellbeing. You won't be judged, and our service is confidential unless we believe that there is a risk to you or others. Who is the service for? Individuals currently accessing the Coventry & Warwickshire NHS Talking Therapies service who are employed, off sick from work or are unemployed and looking to find work. How to access support: You can refer yourself to the Coventry & Warwickshire NHS Talking Therapies service by calling 024 7667 1090 and speaking to an NHS Talking Therapies administrator at their telephone and referral centre (TaRC) who will register your details on their system and begin the process of arranging an assessment appointment. You can also ask your GP or other health/social care professional to refer you to the service. The referrals team will conduct a brief assessment to make sure the service is able to help you. If you are already receiving treatment from the Coventry & Warwickshire NHS Talking Therapies service, you can discuss with your NHS Talking Therapies therapist whether you would benefit from talking to an employment advisor.
