Spill's employee assistance programme (EAP) for the care sector
Care work asks people to give more of themselves than almost any other job. 60% of care staff have experienced burnout or emotional exhaustion, and the ones who carry the most are often the last to ask for help. Spill gives care homes, rehabilitation centres and supported accommodation an EAP built for that reality: same-day counselling around shifts, specialists in compassion fatigue and grief, and training for managers handling the hard conversations.

Proudly supporting care workers across the UK
The emotional load of care work is unlike any other job
Working in the care sector is by nature emotionally demanding. Staff are regularly exposed to suffering and loss, while managing heavy workloads and long shifts. The result is a perfect storm of compassion fatigue, burnout and isolation that leaves care workers uniquely vulnerable, yet often least likely to prioritise their own mental health.
Compassion fatigue
60% of care staff have experienced burnout or emotional exhaustion.
Boundary challenges
57% of carers feel overwhelmed because they can't switch off from work.
Financial pressures
61% of carers worry about their finances and struggle to make ends meet.
When your staff thrive, so do the people in their care
With turnover in care running at around 25% a year, every experienced carer you keep protects continuity for residents and families. Spill tackles the compassion fatigue and financial stress that drive good people out.

Protect against compassion fatigue
Help staff process the emotional weight of caring for others before it turns into exhaustion.
Keep minds on the job

Reduce mental health sick days
Same-day support helps issues get dealt with early, before they become absence.
All-in-one EAP for your team
Unlimited counselling sessions
A confidential space for carers to process grief, compassion fatigue or just a hard week, with a therapist who specialises in exactly that. Same-day sessions fit around shifts and nights, with no waiting lists, call backs or forms.
Self-guided wellbeing resources
A library of practical, evidence-based resources written by licensed therapists who understand the unique pressures care workers face. Covering over 200 topics from burnout prevention to compassion fatigue and grief, our online resources can be accessed at any time. They're a great first step for anyone who's not quite ready to speak to a counsellor directly.
Expert guidance and training
Practical, therapist-led training workshops designed to empower staff to spot mental health presentations within nurseries, schools and universities and know how to appropriately respond. Teachers can also check in with a Spill safeguarding clinician for advice at any time.
