Whether you’re suffering from work-related stress, are struggling to sleep or simply need someone to talk to, Big White Wall can help you get support, take control and feel better.
You can get things off your chest, express yourself creatively, and access a library of self-care resources, including clinical tests, tips and guided group courses with topics ranging from Managing Stress & Anxiety to Quitting Smoking. Trained counsellors are online 24/7 to keep all members safe and provide extra support. Big White Wall can help you with adopting useful coping strategies and behaviours to improve your experience at work.
