Health & well being
Being made redundant can be a worrying time for many people. There is a whole range of organisations and people who can provide support to help you get through redundancy.
It’s natural to feel upset. If you want to talk about your feelings you can speak to a counsellor, who can help you make sense of what you’re feeling and support you in moving on. You can find one by searching the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy’s database.
NHS
NHS offers a wider variety of support and services. From specific advice and guidance around troubles and anxiety relating to redundancy and the recession it also covers a range of counselling and therapies. For further information about the services available to you see:
