By providing the team with outside support, they have access to a wealth of tools and advice to help safeguard their personal wellbeing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The wellbeing package offers the team a range of physical, mental and financial benefits including mental health support covering counselling sessions, Psychiatric treatment and specialist referral to psychologists and cognitive behavioural therapists. In addition, there is an Employee Assistance Programme which offers 24\/7 phone support for psychological issues and life management, such as help with legal, debt, family, consumer and housing concerns, plus discounts on gym and other wellbeing activities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For more information on AXA and how you can support employee mental wellbeing, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.axahealth.co.uk\/health-information\/mental-health\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.axahealth.co.uk\/health-information\/mental-health.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>To find out more about 4FX and how we can help your business visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.4fx.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.4fx.co.uk<\/a><a href=\"\/\/www.4fx.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":920,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sitemap_exclude":false,"_sitemap_priority":"","_sitemap_frequency":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[22,69,80],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-918","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-4fx-office","category-mental-wellbeing","category-safeguarding"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.4fx.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/918","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.4fx.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.4fx.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.4fx.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.4fx.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=918"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"https:\/\/www.4fx.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/918\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":937,"href":"https:\/\/www.4fx.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/918\/revisions\/937"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.4fx.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/920"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.4fx.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=918"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.4fx.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=918"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.4fx.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=918"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
