Picture Thomas, a dedicated care assistant who's spent the last decade looking after others.
Every morning, he puts on a brave face, tends to his clients with unwavering dedication, and
keeps going - just like you might be doing right now.
But here's the thing: behind that professional smile, Thomas was struggling. The late shifts,
emotional toll, and mounting paperwork were becoming overwhelming. Sound familiar?
One Tuesday morning, everything changed when his colleague Olivia noticed something
was off. "Fancy a cuppa?" - Those three simple words opened the door to a conversation
that made all the difference.
At Kingdom Healthcare, we understand that being a healthcare worker isn't just about caring
for others - it's about looking after yourself too. That's why we're marking Time to Talk Day by
sharing Thomas's story and extending the same invitation to you: Fancy a chat?
We've set up confidential support spaces where you can:
● Have a casual conversation with our trained mental health first aiders
● Access professional counselling services
● Join our peer support groups (yes, there will be biscuits!)
● Get practical advice on managing work-life balance
Remember, feeling overwhelmed doesn't make you any less brilliant at your job. In fact,
reaching out shows just how professional you are. Whether you're dealing with compassion
fatigue, feeling burnt out, or just need someone to listen, we're here - no judgement, just
support.
