Group insurance scheme members have access to an information and counselling helpline service which is available 24 hours a day. Advisors, trained by Citizens Advice are at hand to provide answers and assistance on a wide range of issues which may affect daily life.
The helpline provides instant support, advice and counselling. All Care First counsellors are accredited to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). The counsellors are available to provide support for any issues that you may wish to discuss, such as bereavement, relationships problems, stress and work-loads. The service is confidential and impartial, and no one will be informed that a member has contacted Care First, you don't even need to give your name if you don't want to.
The Care First online service provides a library of resources, developed and maintained by a team of professionals. The online resource offers immediate information, answers and advice for a wide range of personal issues such as finance management, childcare and relationship advice, as well as health guides and tips.
