Futures in Mind is a partnership of:
Phoenix Futures, Mind in West Essex and Mid and North East Essex Mind.
Together we will support people with substance/alcohol misuse and mental ill health. This service is the first of its kind in England and offers an inclusive support. The service has been commissioned by Essex County Council and has been co-produced with service users.

We offer an inclusive approach to recovery and with that comes great opportunities for you to develop skills, meet like minded people, build confidence, gain qualifications and make further positive changes to improve your quality of life. We provide support for people who are in early recovery from drug and alcohol misuse and/or mental illness by matching them with trained volunteer peer mentors. The peer mentors use their own experience (direct or indirect) of recovery to support their peer and help them to realise their potential.
