The CRF 50+ Project is aimed at economically inactive, unemployed and employed individuals age 50 plus in the Walsall area. Supporting individuals to navigate through information, advice and guidance on healthy lifestyles, employment and training opportunities, offering bespoke support based on the needs of the individual.

Following pressure and challenges felt by organisations across the country as a result of Covid-19, bespoke mental health training is being delivered to organisations across the region to ensure employees feel supported in the workplace. 

The workplace wellness service, which is part of Black Country Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust (BCHFT) and funded by NHS Charities Together, provides access to tools, tips and advice on how to manage mental health effectively at work.

Black Country Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust has launched a brand new website dedicated to supporting people to find and retain employment across the Black Country and beyond.

The Black Country Job Support site showcases the wide range of services offered by the Trust’s employment service for people with mental and physical health conditions, which is often not recognised as many people associate the NHS with healthcare alone.

More people will have access to one-to-one dedicated employment support thanks to Black Country Healthcare NHS Foundations Trust’s Thrive into Work service.

The Trust’s Thrive into Work service, which supports people living in Dudley and Walsall with physical and mental health conditions to find and retain work, has now expanded to deliver a specialist service to support people across the whole of the West Midlands.

In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, Black Country Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust has launched a ‘Let’s Talk’ service, thanks to funding from NHS Charities Together, to help address loneliness and social isolation.

The brand new Let’s Talk service is available for anyone in the Black Country who is experiencing loneliness or wants to take part in group activities to meet new people, which has been difficult for so many due to the pandemic and lockdown measures.
