We recognise the importance of looking after your own health and well-being at stressful times. Our own mental health and well-being can be fragile at times, so support has to be there when we need it. Our ability to be self-compassionate is vital to protect us and ensure compassion continues to be shown to our families, colleagues and patients.
To complement our in-house provision and enable staff to have access to qualified counsellors 24/7 we are proud to announce our first – Hywel Dda - Employee Assistance Programme (EAP)
