Free online workshops open to all Adult Social Care Providers in Sussex

These free online workshops will introduce the mental health, wellbeing and neurodiversity support available to adult social care staff. The support is funded by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and may be particularly useful for smaller providers who do not have access to their own Employee Assistance Programme.

The session will explore practical ways to support staff wellbeing, help people stay well at work, and access support and workplace adjustments when needed.

Please note: the same workshop is being delivered on all three dates, so you only need to attend one session.
