Mental Health Hot Spot Work - Targeted on site support for stress.
As part of our annual mental health plan, we identify teams or business areas which appear to be experiencing problems with stress - either high levels of absence or high levels of self reported work related stress. Once these areas have been identified we aim to provide a comprehensive package of onsite support in order to identify issues, reduce stress levels and improve attendance and work performance. This package includes the provision of workshops and coaching in the following areas: mental resilience, mental health awareness, active management of cases for managers, and maintaining resilience through challenge and change. Other training interventions may be required to be developed and delivered according to needs based assessment.
Stress Reduction Groups.
This is a six week programme delivered by the in-house counselling team at TfL to a group of 6 to 12 employees. The programme provides employees with a‘toolkit’ aimed at providing employees with the life skills of managing stress effectively. giving individuals new and beneficial interpersonal skills to help them have a less stressful and much more satisfactory life experience. Sessions cover the following topics: information on the physical, emotional and behavioural effects of stress, and help with identifying stress triggers. The impact of lifestyle and how this can on increasing stress levels. Techniques to help challenge unhelpful thoughts and behaviour patterns which diminish ability to cope with stress.
The overall emphasis is on empowerment and autonomy for individuals to take control, to minimise impact of stress, achieve a better work life balance and increase resilience. There is also a powerful peer support element.. Follow up sessions are also available. The provider should deliver the format for the 6 week programme and all materials for the delivery of the workshops. The programme should be kept up to date with relevant changes to the literature and research in the field of stress management, stress reduction and health promotion. These updates should be provided as part of the overall cost of the programme. The provider should also run quarterly group supervision sessions at our offices for the counsellors running the programme, and telephone supervision on demand. Supervision is to support counsellors, assist the development of new skills, provide advice on any difficulties arising and ensure that professional standards are maintained. See supervisor specification chart for more details. The provider will also provide basic introductory training for new members of the CTS team who are scheduled to deliver stress reduction group work. This is to prepare and familiarise with materials to be used and group work principles relevant to this programme.
