Specialist mental health support

Mental health can have an impact on every part of our lives, from our daily routines, relationships, physical health, and even our finances. It can shape our defining moments and influences us every day.

At Zurich, we understand the impact mental health can have in the workplace. That's why we offer access to a wide range of mental health resources to support your clients and their employees – helping turn a setback into a comeback.

Here’s some examples of how we can help support your Group Income Protection clients and their employees:

Specialist mental health expertise

Our fully qualified and registered mental health nurses are experienced in stress management, change management, handling difficult conversations, managing conflict, building resilience, and mediation.

Help from an Employee Assistance Programme

Employees can access up to eight one-hour counselling sessions per issue, per year. Sessions are available face-to-face, over the phone, or online. Unlimited access to a 24/7 confidential helpline with qualified counsellors on hand 365 days a year to offer friendly advice and guidance. Online cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) with sessions and exercises designed to help with anxiety, depression and more.

Mental wellbeing app

Thrive is a corporate mental wellbeing app designed to help with common stressors like sleep difficulties, bereavement, and workplace challenges. It can help detect, prevent, and manage stress, as well as screen for mental health concerns like anxiety and depression, using NHS-approved assessments. And if someone needs immediate support the app will signpost them to appropriate sources of help, including crisis lines and NHS services.

Suicide prevention support

Facing a situation where someone is experiencing suicidal thoughts or expressing intent to take their own life can be deeply shocking and distressing. Our award-winning ‘Raise the Alarm – Suicide Prevention Support’ toolkit offers practical guidance and best practice advice to help your clients manage and prepare for this type of situation. It also provides support on how to care for colleagues who may be affected. The toolkit includes in-the-moment guidance to help responders stay calm and ask the right questions when managing an active suicide threat.

Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training

Your client’s can strengthen their workplace mental health strategy by joining one of our accredited MHFA training courses, delivered in partnership with Mental Health First Aid England.
