Does Florence offer any mental health support?
Yes, our care professionals have access to various services:
Free person-to-person mental health support services
We support the charity Nurse Lifeline a peer led listening service open to all health and care professionals. They offer free support services:
Peer-led support phoneline: 'run by nurses and midwives for nurses and midwives.' Call 0808 801 0455 any weekday evening from 7pm – 10pm if you’d like someone to listen and need a safe place to offload. This service is confidential and anonymous.
Email support: If you prefer to write, you can email them at [email protected] and one of the team will get back to you as soon as possible.
Mental health resource library – via social media, their blog and online – providing well-being tips and signposts to other mental health support communities. Learn more at Resources | Nurse lifeline and follow Nurse Lifeline on social media @Nurselifelineuk.
Another option is a free service funded by the Department of Health and Pensions.
