We deliver life-changing, and often lifesaving, support for those in our industry who are struggling or in crisis. We help people to improve their health and wellbeing through our free and confidential online self-help, through our helpline, support and specialist services. We support individuals to navigate through life’s challenges, empowering them to make positive, lasting change.
Many organisations offer specialised support in specific areas, for example mental health, cancer or debt, but we know that life’s challenges are never that clear cut – and every problem affects other areas of life. We work to understand each individual’s challenges and identify the causes of the underlying issues affecting quality of life, health and wellbeing.
When you’re struggling, it can be overwhelming to navigate all the resources out there and work out what support you need. Sometimes you just need someone to help guide you through the tough times and get you back on track. That’s exactly what Ben’s here for.
We’re here to listen and offer you the support that you need, based on your personal circumstances. Your support plan could include relevant information, advice and guidance but also counselling, coaching or financial assistance, including ways to manage money. We work with people to claim benefits they are entitled to and investigate specific funded support options. We also support people with a range of other challenges including illness, physical conditions, mental health, stress, anxiety, depression, bereavement and loneliness.
If you, your employees or colleagues are struggling to cope and need to talk, Ben is here. Find out more and chat online on our website, call us on 08081 311 333 or email supportservices@ben.org.uk. You can also sign up to receive our tips, advice and tools to support your health and wellbeing.
