Emotional Support

Access to a Mental Health Professional Counsellor for Emotional Support

When on a business trip or deployed in a foreign country, your people may be exposed to unexpected situations. Distance from your loved ones, new environments, or a minor medical condition could trigger stress and anxiety. Our emotional support services assist your mobile workforce in dealing with any psychological issues while they are away and for which short-term counselling is appropriate.

All clinical calls begin with an assessment, which determines the appropriate intervention. The assessment covers the presenting issue, support systems, coping strategies, background information, and a risk assessment. The outcome is a plan that covers the short-term focus including goals agreed upon with the participant. The therapy concentrates on helping individuals identify the skills, strengths, and resources that are already present and moves them towards a solution.

How it helps

The need to provide psychological support to your people when they are travelling or deployed in a foreign country is an integral part of an organisation's Global Risk Programme.

Emotional Support provides the following benefits to your people:

Stress Impacts Business Continuity
Exposure to new environments, minor medical conditions or simply being too far from loved ones can impact your mobile workforce. These events trigger stress and anxiety. This can lead to distraction, business disruption or even something more serious.

Peace of Mind
In times of stress or anxiety, your workforce needs professional emotional support often at short notice and in their native language. Timely support can make the difference between controlling a situation and an event spiralling out of control. Easy access to services through a single point of contact help your people make the right decisions at a critical time.

Wellbeing - Wherever, Whenever
Our short term counselling support services assist your people with the psychological issues, wherever, whenever. Your mobile workforce will have their medical, safety and emotional needs addressed by a single incident manager, in a holistic way via a single assistance number.
