National Wellbeing Hub - Update - New resources

This is to update you on some new information on the National Wellbeing Hub.  

New Resources on the Hub

1. Dealing with increased levels of anxiety  

We have produced a resource / advice sheet for everyone working in health and social work/social care:   Feeling anxious about restrictions being lifted? Here’s how you can stay in control  It is in response to reports of increased levels of anxiety amongst the workforce and carers in the context of restrictions being lifted.

NHS Boards, HSCPs and other partner organisations have been advised of the resource and requested to take the necessary action to make their colleagues aware of it via their organisation intranets and other communication channels.

2. Financial Wellbeing

We have worked collaboratively with the Money and Pensions Service to produce a Money Helper video for everyone working in health and social work/social care, and unpaid carers to raise awareness of money worries and to encourage people to seek help at an early stage.  It can be viewed on the Hub – click here. We are still developing other resources and tools but the first stage is to destigmatise help-seeking.

3. Workforce Specialist Service (WSS)

A new video explaining the WSS has also now been added to the hub. You can view it here 

An example of ‘leading practice’

The Royal Pharmaceutical Society has proactively developed a Pledge to promote mutual ownership of wellbeing and mental health amongst their members and their employers. The NHS Board’s Directors of Pharmacy have signed the Pledge. Further information is on the ‘Latest’ page of the National Wellbeing Hub – click here to see it.   

The National Wellbeing Hub has been totally redesigned/rebranded and restructured; its functionality has been improved and content updated / re-presented in various formats.
