The mental health and wellbeing of St Mary's staff is paramount and it is vital to ensure all staff receive the support and assistance they need. Detailed information on St Mary's Mental Health and Wellbeing Strategy and resources for staff (including the Employee Assistance Programme and our Mental Health First Aiders) can be found on our Health and Wellbeing pages.
