Here To Help

Helping people thrive at work by addressing alcohol, drug and gambling harms.

Aquarius Life is our dedicated workplace service, supporting employers and their teams with expert help around alcohol, drugs and gambling. We work nationally with businesses of all sizes to reduce risk, improve wellbeing and promote a healthier workplace culture.

We’ve been doing this work since 2014, when we first partnered with a major automotive employer to support their staff. That experience showed us just how many people in work are affected by these issues, and how little specialist support is available within most organisations.

The Aquarius Life training service was fantastic

"The Aquarius Life training service was fantastic; it provided the staff with a good insight into their own mental health and provided them with the support to identify ways of improving wellbeing and leading a balanced life"

Operations Manager at Pilkington Glass, part of NSG Group,

I fully recommend these workshops to all businesses

"I fully recommend these workshops to all businesses. Aquarius not only made the training
engaging, accessible and interactive but also provided excellent recommendations in follow
up support. What really shines through with Aquarius is their passion for what they do, and
the staff really reflect that with the sensitivity and authentic nature they deliver the training in"

Area Manager- NatWest,

Aquarius Life were a pleasure to deal with

"The workshop was very well received by the team and everyone had their own personal takeaways. For me personally, the biggest added value was recognising my own tendencies and having a few tools in the pocket to counter problems associated with a stressful response. From a team perspective, it was a useful reminder that everyone’s response to stressful situations is different and being cognisant of that that can only be beneficial in our day to day work and personal lives.

Aquarius Life were a pleasure to deal with from the initial phone call all the way through to receiving a (great value) invoice"

Associate Director at SLPE,

I couldn't be more impressed with the impact

"I recently commissioned Aquarius Life to provide Alcohol Awareness Training to my employees. We are a home care provider so staff are driving and using equipment in the workplace; I wanted to support staff wellbeing while also raising awareness of issues around alcohol that staff may not consider but that could impact performance and our business if not understood. I was genuinely impressed by the quality and relevance of the sessions.

The trainer was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and sensitive to the subject matter while making the learning experience both enjoyable and valuable and I couldn't be more impressed with the impact it had on the whole team and organisation. The trainer created a safe space for open discussion and delivered the content in a clear, relatable way. My team and I left the course feeling more informed and better equipped to make responsible decisions. Highly recommended for any organisation looking to support employees and increase their awareness and understanding of the impact of alcohol both at work and at home"

Rita Deane- Managing Director Elite Assistance Limited,

Aquarius Life has hugely influenced the success of that journey

"I self-referred to Aquarius via the company’s Occupational Health Service and the fact that I was able to access such a service through my employer in such a short space of time is something that I am extremely grateful for. It was hugely beneficial to get immediate and personalised support to prevent the worsening of my situation.

I have no doubt that this early intervention helped me to not only get back to work, but more importantly to become healthier, happier and more resilient in all aspects of life. The process of seeking out help is the first step on the journey to recovery and having the support and guidance from Aquarius Life has hugely influenced the success of that journey, in my personal experience. The ‘tool kit’ that is built up through the process is not just for a quick fix, it is for lifelong use. I am still learning and improving after more than two years.
Prior to starting with Aquarius my work attendance was very poor and I was in the Attendance Improvement Process. Now, after almost 2 years of being back at work from absence I have a vastly improved absence record and even managed over 12 months without a single sick day"
