What Referrers Need To Know

Lived Experience Advantage
At Mind On Side, we believe that real understanding comes from lived experience. Everyone involved in our service has personally faced addiction, mental health challenges, or neurodivergence — and we’ve experienced first-hand how hard it is to hold down a job, face daily expectations, and keep moving forward when life feels overwhelming.
We don’t just offer support from a textbook. We know what it’s like to walk into work carrying the weight of anxiety, trauma, or recovery. We understand how fragile the balance can feel, and how easy it is to fall through the cracks when the right support isn’t there.
That’s what makes Mind On Side different — and why working with us gives your client or loved one a real chance. We’ve been there. We’ve come through it. And now, we’re helping others do the same — building strong foundations for a life filled with purpose, pride, and possibility.
If you want to achieve, we will help you believe!
