About
Helping Carillion staff & their families through the recession
Relate exists to help people with their relationships. Couples, individuals, children, young people and whole families receive help with all aspects of their relationships. Recently Relate has launched a ‘Recession Package’ to provide emotional support, help, and guidance to parents and individuals, where their couple or family relationships may have been impacted in some way by the recession.
As part of our joint working, Relate is extending this offer to Carillion. This means Carillion staff and their families can access confidential sessions with a Relate counsellor online or by telephone and in addition to the current employee assistance programme. The service is completely confidential and does not require any referral from Carillion.
Online support via Livechat
Relate Counsellors can provide instant, confidential, one-to-one emotional support to individuals, couples, parents and grandparents on recession issues, by text over the internet. Relate’s experience tells us that many people go through times where they need instant support on a worrying personal issue. This live chat service provides that instant help. There is no time limit restriction on the use of this service - although Relate’s experience is that most live chats last an average of 30-40 minutes - and you can use the service as many times as you like.
The service is FREE to Carillion staff
Opening Hours:
9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday
7pm to 9pm, Sunday, Monday & Wednesday
Relate can also provide livechats by appointment outside these hours. To request an appointment please email relateforparents@relate.org.uk or telephone 0300 100 1234.
