While the other services provided by Richmond Foundation focus upon supporting persons with mental health problems, the SOSP aims to provide a service which will help to prevent mental illness from occurring, as well as to support organisations to provide a working environment which promotes positive mental health.

The aims of the Staff and Organisation Support Programme are to:

• Identify signs of sources of stress with the organisation,
  
• Provide training and promote best practices to prevent stress throughout the organisation and in the individual employees
  
• Maximise employee well-being
  
• Minimise employee incidence of mental health difficulties
  
• Provide constancy to help employers and employees work together to resolve potentially detrimental situations
  
• Provide counselling and support services to employees to enable them resolve problems and maintain their functioning at work to maximise their productivity and minimise unnecessary burnout and staff turnover.
