Self-Referrals for Support

All Gateshead Health colleagues can complete the Staff Wellbeing Hub’s own referral form to access rapid, free and confidential support services. The team generally deal with referrals within a one working day, though waiting times can vary by demand.

Those who refer can access an expert clinician, and if necessary this may be followed up by up to three further additional treatment and support sessions. The Hub also works alongside a number of different mental health and wellbeing organisations who they can recommend you access to support your wellbeing where appropriate.

Also available through The Hub are a range of support groups & offers – more of which can be learnt about through their website.
