Client

“Very friendly and welcoming. Easy to realise I was talking to someone who knew their profession inside and out. Felt that on every consultation, I was in a greatly improved state of mind than the last. I would recommend The Better Health Generation and Able Futures to anyone who struggles with mental health in the workplace”
Client

“I would definitely recommend the service . It empowers the employee because they can make contact with Able Futures directly. There's no need for a manager referral. They don't need to share their experience if they don't want to and it's just providing additional support for our site managers”
Head of Pensions, Wellbeing and Benefits

“The support is reliable, effective and helping me in a challenging situation. Prior to this support I felt lonely and unsupported. Being in a senior position made my experience of stress and managing difficult employees at times overwhelming. I’ve been given great support and advice on helpful techniques and just the chance to talk and be heard has also been therapeutic”
Client

“Your support has helped get back to work full time after a period of being off sick. The Access to Work Mental Health Support Service has supported me through some really difficult times and in a large part the reason I am working”
Client

“My Mental Health Coach is incredible, she really listens to what I’m discussing with her and empathises, her strategies and advice are grounding and relatable. We keep in contact consistently and she provides me with a couple of actions to take forward at the end of each session. I feel so empowered from having sessions with her”
Client

“Everyone has been amazing that I’ve spoken to. Customer Service have been top notch. My coach is incredible, and I feel so lucky to have been matched with her”
Client

“As an SME, we don’t have the budget or infrastructure to provide extensive wellbeing services for our employees, so discovering this free mental health support has been invaluable. It’s given our team access to resources they can use confidentially and independently, which really complements the other wellbeing initiatives we already have in place. Having this resource available has not only made a difference to the wellbeing of our employees, but it’s also given us reassurance as an employer that we’re able to provide meaningful help when it’s needed most”
