Wellbeing Partnerships
Local, Relational, Responsive
Why support your workforce?
A study by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) revealed that 1 in 4 Scots feel their work negatively impacts their mental health with 60% experiencing excessive pressure and 37% reporting feelings of misery at work [CIPD June 2024].
According to research by Vitality, poor employee health costs the UK economy an estimated £138 billion annually due to absence and reduced productivity. Mental health issues were found to have the greatest negative impact on productivity [Healthcare and Protection January 2024].
38% of Scottish workers think that people in their workplace would be unlikely to speak about a mental health problem for fear of losing their job and being discriminated against by colleagues [Censuswide for See Me August 2022].
Employers have a responsibility to support their employees’ physical and mental health but often many don’t know how best to do so resulting in the kinds of results highlighted in this research. Signing up for a Wellbeing Partnership gives you a simple and cost effective solution, all while supporting a local charity to continue to improve the lives of people here in Glasgow and beyond who are most in need.

Client feedback
“I have absolute confidence in Shona Stirling’s wisdom, integrity and leadership. She is a woman who is gifted in many ways; she is attentive and insightful to the needs of the individual, yet has the ability to share her knowledge, experience and wisdom with a room full of people, in a simple, engaging and impacting way. With that formidable combination of gifts and attributes, it’s no surprise that Healing for the Heart is growing and developing at an exponential rate!”
Client feedback
“Never has there been more need of counselling services than now. Self-care & wellbeing can help when someone is working through a challenge, however, there are some challenges which require more than self-care and self-management and it’s great to know Healing for the Heart are there to offer people that compassionate counselling response when they need it.”
“Often people get stuck in life, held back by fear or past hurts or confusion about how to move forward. Healing for the Heart helps to ‘unstick’ people so that they can live life in all its fullness. They help people overcome fear, move beyond hurts and create clarity about how to live.”
