Health and Wellbeing Support pack: This pack contains lots of information about what support DBTH can offer you during this time and a few tips and other free external services which will help you look after your health and wellbeing Staff counselling services are also available 24/7 by calling the Vivup Employee Assistance Provision.. The team has a wide variety of skills and knowledge and have offered their service because they recognise the importance of supporting staff through difficult times.
