We’re back with another packed episode of our Shout! Podcast and this month we’re taking a closer look at some of our online support services, available to all of our fire family.

Our host, Rebecca, chats to some of our service users who have taken part in our HOPE (Help Overcome Problems Effectively) Programme, online counselling and digital physiotherapy sessions, while discussing the benefits of taking care of your wellbeing at every stage of your life.

Featuring heartfelt stories from Luke, Keith, and Ewan, we explore how online support pathways have made significant impacts on their wellbeing.

If these interviews resonate with you, remember our Support Line is always available: 0800 3898820. Be sure to follow or subscribe to the Shout!Podcast to stay updated with our latest episodes.
