We’re pleased to be working more closely with the other local Minds across Essex in 2026 and beyond, to strengthen mental health support for people across the county. Over the past year, we’ve been building closer links with our fellow Essex Minds, including Mind in West Essex, Mid and North East Essex, South East and Central Essex Mind, and Thurrock and Brentwood Mind, to explore how we can work better together. This partnership is about creating a more joined-up approach, so it’s easier for people to find the right support, closer to home. Wherever you live in Essex, there will be a local Mind ready to help.
We first shared that this partnership was in development during Mental Health Awareness Week last year. Since then, we’ve been quietly putting the foundations in place and looking at how we can use this collaboration to make the biggest difference for our communities.
Mind in Essex will be announcing a new partnership with an Essex-wide organisation in the next couple of weeks, which we’re really excited to share. Keep an eye on our social media for the announcement.
