The Proactive Support service is just that, we conduct a personalised monthly Mental Health Check-In with each member of staff to connect with them, to check how they are coping and essentially ensure their Mental Wellbeing is healthy.

Business owners, Managers and Staff find this service incredibly useful as it gives staff an opportunity to talk openly at the point of their Check-in. It also offers staff the peace of mind knowing they can book a personalised Coaching Session throughout the month should any challenges arise. Through Coaching, all staff, including management are provided with a supportive outlet to discuss any challenges they may be facing and to receive tangible tools to help them cope in the present and the future.

Should any staff member experience a mental health crisis, they will also have priority access to contact our highly experienced coaches so they can receive immediate help, support and strategies to help them manage the issue at hand.  

The Mental Health needs of businesses and staff have been a widely discussed topic even well before we entered the pandemic. We know from speaking to our clients on a regular basis they appreciate the need to take the Mental Health of their staff seriously.

How do I get my business started on the Proactive Support service?

It’s much simpler that you likely imagine. We just need you to complete 2 forms, a Registration form and your Staff List form so we can set you up on our database. We know you are busy so we assist you with integration as much as possible, therefore we provide you with an email template and an introduction document to us and our service. You then have everything you need to communicate to your staff members that you are investing in them and their Mental Health and so they know what to expect from us and our service. Once the above forms and communications have been completed we provide you with a service commencement date, this is the date we will start calling your staff to check in with them.
