Dear Colleagues,
As part of Mental Health Awareness Week 2026, we want to remind people across the Black Country that WorkWell is still here to support you.
This year’s theme is Action and sometimes taking action for your mental health and wellbeing starts with reaching out for support.
At WorkWell, we understand that physical health, mental health, and employment are closely connected. If you are struggling to stay in work, currently off work, worried about returning to work, or finding that your health is affecting your wellbeing and confidence, you do not have to face it alone.
Our Work and Health Coaches provide free, personalised support to help people:
💼 Stay in work
🤝 Return to work after time away
🧠 Manage health and wellbeing alongside employment
📍 Access local support services
🌱 Build confidence and resilience
🗣️ Talk through barriers affecting work and wellbeing
Whether you are employed, self-employed, off sick, or looking for guidance around work and health, WorkWell can support you to take positive steps forward at your own pace.
Small actions can make a big difference – having a conversation, asking for support, or taking the first step towards improving your wellbeing and work situation.
Employers, professionals, family members, or individuals themselves can all make referrals into the service.
