Mean & Clean: Sobriety and Addiction Recovery Program

Our aim is to bridge the gap between initial consultations/talking therapies and rehabilitation facilities. All too often service users are left to their own devices after initial intervention, until space becomes available at rehabilitation centres. In most cases the need for rehab can be avoided if the service user has access to the correct care.   

We provide 24/7 individual support, tailored recovery programs and ongoing care in the "inbetween" stage; our program has proved successful enough that our clients have found they no longer require the help of residential rehab facilities after gaining confidence and success in their own program of recovery.

Chasing the Stigma

Chasing the Stigma is a national mental health charity on a mission to normalise and humanise conversations about mental health, whilst ensuring that everyone in the UK can access clear pathways to support, whenever and wherever they need it.

With lived experience at our core, we are driven to create a society where there is no longer a stigma associated with mental health, where people are as comfortable talking about their mental health as their physical health, and where everyone is able to find appropriate support before they reach a point of crisis, leading to a significant long-term reduction in self-harm and suicide.

We strive to achieve this through the provision of pioneering training services, awareness-raising campaigns and lobbying activities whilst also operating the UK’s largest and most comprehensive directory of community mental health services, the Hub of Hope.
