Long Term Mental Health Support for Staff
We can all have good days and bad days.
Sometimes mental health issues such as anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, bereavement, sleep problems or lack of confidence can affect our time at work and we need some support to help us feel better and to have more good days.
We are delighted to bring you access to nine months of free, confidential work-focused support from a qualified mental health professional - through our new partnership with Able Futures - the Access to Work mental health support service, funded by the Department for Work and Pensions.
You can benefit from:
- nine months personalised advice and guidance and regular appointments with a mental health professional
- a plan to support your mental health by making adjustments, developing coping strategies and learning ways to look after your wellbeing
- confidential, no cost support with no waiting list and no need for a mental health diagnosis - you can refer yourself and get help with whatever is on your mind.
Flexible, fast and easy to use service - how to get in touch with Able Futures

Your health and wellbeing at work is our highest priority and we are always looking for ways we can enhance the support we provide. That's why we have partnered with Able Futures to deliver one-to-one support sessions, provided by The Better Health Generation's Mental Health Nurses, Occupational Therapists and Counsellors. These sessions will be posted here.
Further information about the support service can be found on the Able Futures website. You can also apply via the Able Futures website at any time, if you would prefer to self-refer before the appointment day.
Confidential Chats
We are pleased to offer NRS staff the opportunity to book a 30 minute virtual appointment for a confidential chat by clicking on one of the links below and selecting a time that suits you.
You will receive confirmation of your booking by email, and a mental health professional from the Better Health Generation will call you at your chosen time to discuss how they can help. During the call, they will answer any initial questions you have about the service and can complete your application there and then for the free mental health support if you wish to proceed.
