September 2025
For September's My Wellbeing calendar theme we are focussing on fertility. Below you will find helpful information, support and guidance on the overall fertility journey. We have included external organisations and complemented these with links to what we provide at Glasgow Life. This includes information and support on our own My Wellbeing Colleague information pages, our newly launched Wellness Action Plan (our practical, personal tool to support your mental health at work), and our Employee Assistance Programme provider, PAM Assist.
