Epping Forest District Partners

We provide support, advice and information around alcohol use.

If you are finding that alcohol is causing problems in your life, we can help. 

Whether you want to reduce the amount you drink, or how often you drink, or abstain completely, we provide a range of support that is designed around your personal needs and aspirations.

We know it’s not easy to address problems with alcohol but our experienced team will guide you through the support on offer. We use tried and tested methods to help you to work towards your personal goals.

You can benefit from support on a one to one basis, including counselling and group support, where you can share experiences with other people with similar experiences.

We also support family or friends affected by a loved one’s drinking.

Gamblers Anonymous is a unjudgemental safe space for anyone suffering directly or indirectly from gambling harms

Mind in West Essex supports people affected by mental ill health, predominantly across West Essex to make positive changes in their lives and to improve their emotional resilience.

We also aim to normalise the conversation around mental health and in doing so reduce the stigma that can be a barrier to people accessing the support that could help them to improve their quality of life.

We provide a range of services in order to help us deliver on these aims, these include: counselling as part of the NHS psychological therapies service; a private counselling service; Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) training; emotional resilience training; peer support; befriending to reduce isolation; bereavement work and community support.

In addition to the above client facing services we also run Crisis Alternative Services including Sanctuary, Night Owls and Daylight Workers.

The core aim of the Change Project is to promote personal wellbeing through enabling people to have healthy relationships in families, between individuals, and in the community.
