Wellness Works Programme
What is the Wellness Works project?
Community First, in partnership with Relate Worcestershire, has successfully secured resources from the Big Lottery Health and Well-being Programme Fund. This will enable a 3 year initiative –Wellness Works – to deliver education, training and awareness raising programmes across Worcestershire for employers, to support emotional health and well-being in the workplace.
We will work with a range of employers including, VCS, private and public. Wellness Works is part of a regional programme of work to improve health and well-being in the West Midlands called Living Well in the West Midlands.

"Who Can Help With Mental Health?"
A new local mental health resource directory listing sources of support and information on mental health for Worcestershire. This directory has been produced by Wellness Works in partnership with the Worcestershire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust. The PDF version has active links to appropriate websites so that you can use it for yourself, for someone you care about, as part of the support you provide for your employees, or as a health professional. (Whilst we have listed a range of resources in the directory, if you have any concerns about your mental health, please check with your GP).
Who Can Help With Mental Health? is available to download FREE for use on your own website or intranet.
