Wellness Action Plan download | Mind
Wellness Actions Plans (WAPs) are an easy, practical way of helping you to support your own mental health at work and, if you are a manager, helping you to support the mental health of your team members.
Everyone can complete a Wellness Action Plan, you don’t need to have a mental health problem in order to feel the benefits. It just means that you already have practical steps in place to ensure you are supported when you aren’t feeling great.
We have three guides available which you can fill in electronically:
- Our Guide for line managers is for managers or supervisors who are interested in introducing WAPs to their team members.
- Our Guide for employees is for any member of staff who would like to try a WAP for themselves and introduce the idea of using WAPs to their manager or supervisor.
- Our Working from home WAP is designed to support staff with their mental health and wellbeing when working from home.
Information for both employees and employers around work related stress from the Health and Safety Executive.
