Let's Talk About It - Support Services
Voicing our own thoughts or feelings can help us understand them better. If you feel talking it through with someone could be helpful for you, one-to-one is a great option to get support. There are different options available, such as INMO's 24hr Counselling Phone Line, a 24/7 text service via Text About It or one-to-one counselling through your Employee Assistance Programme.
The INMO 24hr Counselling Help Line is a FREE and confidential counselling service for you and any member of your immediate family who permanently lives with you. The service is delivered over the phone and includes onward referral to relevant voluntary and/or professional services, where appropriate.
This service is provided by ARAG Legal and Counselling Services
