Support with your mental health condition
Are you struggling at work due to depression, stress or anxiety?
The Access to Work Mental Health Support Service is a confidential service delivered by Remploy, funded by the Department for Work and Pensions. It is available at no charge to any employees with depression, anxiety, stress or other mental health issues affecting their work.
So far, we have supported thousands of people with a mental health condition who are absent from work or finding work difficult, to stay in, or return to their job.
Our opening hours for chat are:
Mon - Fri 09:00 - 19:00
