AVAILABLE RESOURCES: INTRODUCING
WHAT IS VITA HEALTH? Vita Health is a leading provider of EAP services, which includes legal and life management, 24/7 immediate emotional support, guided self-help, structured counselling, a management support helpline, career coaching, and more. Vita Health uses a specially trained, legal and information team who can help to resolve issues around: debt, legal concerns, etc., along with counsellors who are on hand to manage any emotional concerns. In addition, the manager support team can provide invaluable support to managers, in order to maximise your team’s performance and effectiveness. All services are free of charge, completely confidential, and are available for all UK-based THG employees to use designed to provide practical and emotional support to preventatively address and support everything from legal concerns to finance management and career advice.
THE MAIN SERVICES VITA HEALTH OFFERS 24/7 IMMEDIATE EMOTIONAL SUPPORT
Vita Health offers all UK THG employees a 24/7 helpline, these calls are answered by a counsellor who assesses your immediate needs. The counsellor will provide you with immediate emotional support ‘in-the moment’, where they will spend as much time as necessary listening and supporting. If this resolves the situation to the satisfaction of both parties this would be the conclusion of the process with no further actions required, other than an invitation to call back whenever needed. However, if the counsellor feels you needs further support, they can go down one of the following routes:
SESSION-BASED COUNSELLING Vita Health uses a clinically managed network of over 1000 fully BACP accredited counsellors and therapists at hand to deliver session-based support. This is typically 30 minutes to an hour long, and can either be conducted in person; usually within a maximum of 15 miles of your home or work, or be carried out using computerised Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) telephone sessions with a Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner (PWP) in accordance with the NICE approved Stepped Care approach.
GUIDED SELF-HELP Vita Health uses SilverCloud, the computerised Cognitive Behavioural Therapy service (CBT), which contains a range of modules where individuals can complete programmes to cover a range of over 40 issues such as: mild to moderate depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, stress management, dealing with unproductive or negative thoughts and mindfulness. Where appropriate, you will be provided with 12 months’ access, with modules being either self-learning or facilitated through scheduled telephone calls with a Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner (PWP).
