Support your team and yourself with our free Guides to Wellness Action Plans

I am quite prone to stress at work. And if I'm feeling down this makes it worse. But I can keep a handle on this with a little bit of support. And this support is probably less onerous than many employers would think. Very simple, small things can make a big difference.

Wellness Actions Plans (WAPs) are an easy, practical way of helping you to support your own mental health at work, and if you are a manager, helping you to support the mental health of your team members.

Everyone can complete a WAP, you don't need to have a mental health problem in order to feel the benefits. It just means that you already have practical steps in place to ensure you are supported when you aren't feeling great.

We have two guides available, both with a WAP template which you can fill in electronically:

• Our Guide for line managers is for managers or supervisors who are interested in introducing WAPs to their team members
• Our Guide for employees is for any member of staff who would like to try a WAP for themselves and introduce the idea of using WAPs to their manager or supervisor
