Post Covid-19 Support
While we may cope well during the current pandemic it may not be until afterwards that we struggle with some of the things we have been through. The impact may happen months or years later. If this happens to you, please talk to someone you trust about what you are experiencing.
You can seek professional support and advice (including counselling and psychological therapy) via Occupational Health (Phone: 01324 566663 or FV.OHSadmin@nhs.scot) or via your own GP or Mental Health Services.
