Wellbeing

Our Wellbeing site aims to provide guidance, links and other resources to give staff useful ways to maintain health and wellbeing. 

Please note, although resources have been gathered from those shared by NHS partners, many of the links will direct you to sites external to NHS organisations.

First steps

Some of us are living with a mental health condition, for example, anxiety or depression, or are supporting someone else with their wellbeing. Some of us just want to feel a bit happier, or would like ideas for maintaining resilience during challenging times.

If you're looking for information on how to take the first steps to improve your mental health, a good place to start is with the NHS, which provides evidence-based resources for those of us who are looking for help. 

If you are looking for help to take the first steps towards finding support, visit the NHS Mental Health and Wellbeing website.

Country View

Health and wellbeing resources

There are many resources out there which are aiming to help people with mental health and wellbeing concerns, so we have sifted through them to find those that have been recommended by our NHS partners. 

These include websites and apps providing practical ideas for ways we can help ourselves, as well as sources of guidance for ways we can support our colleagues, friends and families. We have also included a few links to companies offering free or discounted products relating to mental health and wellbeing.

If you have found a good website, programme or product that you feel it would be useful to add to this list, please email crneoe.wellbeing@nihr.ac.uk
