About Us
Wellness Works Team
What will Wellness Works do?
Community First will employ a business advisor to work with a range of employers to:
• Enable employers to recognise emotional health and well-being issues in the workplace
• Enable the development of sustainable structures for supporting well-being in the workplace such as policies, protocols and peer support systems.
Relate Worcestershire will deliver a programme of accredited and non- accredited training and learning opportunities to staff and managers including workshops on:
• Understanding and dealing with bullying and harassment
• Skills for Health –listening and basic counselling skills
• Developing Peer Support programs at work
We also have funds to sub-contract with a range of specialist VCS providers as and when required.
What is well-being?
Well-being concerns our whole life: our physical and emotional health, the food we eat, our relationships, our working lives, our leisure activities, the communities we live in, the environment we share, as well as our own happiness and sense of fulfilment. Improving your well-being is not a question of turning your life upside down. In fact it’s all about making small steps to make a big difference. This project will specifically work to improve and promote well-being in the work place.
Wellness Works is part of a regional health and well-being portfolio called Living Well http://www.livingwellwestmidlands.org/
