Live in York or North Yorkshire and not feeling like yourself at work?

Whether you’re currently off work or finding things tough while working, support is available through the Trailblazer Resilience Hub.

The Trailblazer Resilience Hub offers:
✅ An initial assessment to understand your needs
✅ Up to six sessions with a trained mental health professional
✅ Fully funded support at no cost to you through the Good Work, Healthy People project

Referrals are welcome from individuals, employers and GP practices.

Good Work, Healthy People is supported by York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority using funding from the Department for Work and Pensions’ Get Britain Working Economic Inactivity Trailblazer. Delivered by Humber and North Yorkshire ICB Best Place To Work Team. Emma Marshall, Rach McCafferty, Jade Jenkins, Lisa Billard and Gursharan Panesar-Bell.

With the bank holiday weekend coming up and the warmer weather on the way - it’s a great time to check your first aid kit at home or in the car is fully stocked.

Essentials like plasters, antiseptic cream, painkillers and sun cream can help you deal with minor accidents, injuries and sunburn while you’re out enjoying the sunshine.

Remember to apply sun cream regularly, especially if you’re spending long periods outdoors.
