Wellbeing

Support when you need it the most

As an ARAG customer, you have access to a range of wellbeing focused articles and a dedicated counselling helpline.

Counselling support

If you have a commercial or family policy then you will have access to our free counselling advice line, which provides confidential support and advice by phone if you are suffering from emotional upset or feeling worried and anxious about a personal or work-related problem.

Calls to the counselling assistance service will not be recorded.

Counselling assistance

If you have a commercial policy, we have prepared content for a handout that you can use to tell your employees about the helpline. You can add your own logo and include the information in your employee benefits pack, pin it to a notice board, upload it onto your intranet if you have one, or send it out to staff with their payslip.

Click here for the handout

In addition, we have a series of informative newsletters you can download, to help with a wide range of wellbeing issues. All content in these guides is courtesy of our counselling provider, Vita Health Group.
