about us
The Staff Psychological Wellbeing Hub was launched in recognition of the need to be doing more to support our staff.
The Hub provides a confidential space for our Health and Social Care colleagues to talk through any issues that are impacting upon their everyday lives.
If you are feeling stressed, anxious or overwhelmed our team of trained clinicians are dedicated and compassionate in the support we offer. We offer a one-to-one assessment and will ensure you get the right access to the right support should you need it. Don't struggle alone, let us help you get back on track by clicking here.

Our Vision
How are you? No, really, how are you?
It can be difficult to be open and honest about how you’re really feeling. If you’re not feeling yourself, talk to us.
Here at the Hub, we're committed to providing confidential and compassionate support, information and signposting for our Health and Social Care colleagues.
As staff members ourselves, you will be supported by someone who “gets it”.
Our vision is to normalise support seeking, reduce fear of stigma and instil a culture where psychological wellbeing is a fundamental part of how we lead, behave and treat each other.
Confidentiality
We are a self referral confidential service. No one, including your line manager will be made aware of your conversations with us.
We take confidentiality seriously and will ensure that your information is not shared without your consent to do so.
Your information is stored on our unique system which can only be accessed by the Hub Team.
It is at your discretion whether your organisation are informed of your referral and/or assessment outcome.
"Your manager or employer does not need to know that you have accessed the service."

Carer's network
Do you provide care for a family member(s) or a friend? If so, we have a peer led ‘Carer Support Network’. This peer support group is for our health and social care colleagues across Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent who also have caring responsibilities.
Our network creates a space for people to share their stories, offer support and share useful information/resources. We have a chat function within MS Teams which can be utilised 24/7, as well as our monthly network meetings, facilitated by a member of the Staff Psychological Wellbeing Hub team.
If you would like to join our carer support network or would like a chat with us, please get in touch. You can contact us at:
"This forum is great for support and generally knowing you're not on your own in the big bad world"
