Supporting Colleagues Across Our Organisations

We provide a diverse range of wellbeing programmes and initiatives to support colleagues’ health and wellbeing.

Peer Psychological Support

We deliver a range of Peer Psychological Support services across JUCD, providing free and confidential mental health and wellbeing support to colleagues.

Working alongside psychological health consultancy ‘March on Stress’, trained practitioners from our JUCD Wellbeing team offer psychological support, assessments and training for our health and social care colleagues across Derbyshire, Derby City and North Staffordshire.

This includes:

Sustaining Resilience at Work (StRaW) – Individual mental health support

If you’re feeling anxious, worried or stressed you can book a 1-1 confidential and non-judgemental conversation with one of our trained practitioners to help support your mental and emotional wellbeing

Trauma Risk Management (TRiM) – Trauma support

If you’ve experienced a traumatic or a potentially traumatic event you can contact our trained peer support practitioners who facilitate 1-1 and group support sessions, providing a safe and confidential space to help you process, recover, and improve your mental wellbeing

Reflective Practice services – Guided group reflections

A safe and confidential space for teams who have been undertaking highly challenging work or who have encountered difficult situations, enabling them to reflect on the psychological and emotional impact of their experiences

REACTmh – Training for staff

Being able to speak with a supportive and trusted peer or line manager in times of difficulty can make a big difference to our mental health. Your Wellbeing Team delivers short, practical and skills-based courses (either 1-1 or training for teams) to enable staff to have effective and supportive conversations about mental health with their colleagues

Delivered by the Occupational Health, Safety and Wellbeing Team, this pathway of support sits alongside existing clinical support services such as counselling and existing peer support services such as Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) to ensure colleagues can access appropriate interventions, signposting, and assistance when they need it.

The comprehensive psychological support available aims to:

Offer our colleagues and leaders the relevant support required in times of difficulty
Build resilience by safeguarding colleagues’ psychological wellbeing
Help prevent, detect and treat any occupational, operational or home related stress, including post-traumatic stress (PTSD)
Promote early intervention and appropriate peer support
Help to champion and break the stigma surrounding poor mental health – It’s Okay, not to be Okay.
