Health and wellbeing
Usdaw takes both the physical and mental wellbeing of its members very seriously
The physical, emotional, social and intellectual wellbeing of our members is very important to the Union.
We run campaigns throughout the year on health and wellbeing issues but we can also give you advice on mental health, domestic violence and much more.

Are you affected by domestic violence?
We are committed to support any member in this difficult situation.
Usdaw has for many years sought to support members who are experiencing domestic violence and, while the vast majority are women, it can affect men too. It can happen in heterosexual and same-sex relationships.
Supporting members with menopause symptoms
The menopause is a natural part of the ageing process and yet in many workplaces is still regarded as a taboo subject. Many women experience significant physical and emotional side effects during the menopause years and often find their symptoms are made worse by work.
