Helping Your Team Stay in Work
At Mind On Side, we work with employers who want to support staff struggling with addiction recovery, mental health, or personal challenges - without adding pressure or cost to the business.
We provide specialist, confidential support funded by the UK Government's Access to Work scheme, meaning your employee can receive up to £69,260 per year in support, fully paid for.
🧠Why Support Matters
Employees in recovery or struggling with their mental health are often trying to stay afloat without letting it show - but the impact on performance, attendance, and wellbeing is real.
Providing structured, trauma-informed support:
▪️Improve staff retention
▪️Reduces sick days and presenteeism
▪️Boosts confidence and workplace morale
▪️Demonstrates that you're a responsible and inclusive employer
🗨️"Supporting your team through recovery isn't just the right thing to do - it's good for business"
👉How Mind On Side Can Help
We support your staff in ways that are practical, professional, and respectful.
Our support includes:
▪️1:1 addiction recovery coaching
▪️Workplace mental health check-ins
▪️Life skills and routine-building for people on MAT or in early recovery
▪️Support with communication, anxiety, disclosure, and confidence
▪️Optional advocacy or involvement (only with client consent)
All support is trauma-informed and delivered by trained lived-experience practitioners.
🔐Fully Confidential & Employee-Led
We do not involve employers unless the employee wants us to.
If a staff member is receiving support through Access to Work:
▪️It is entirely confidential
▪️No medical records or history are shared.
▪️You are not expected to manage the support
We handle the sessions, paperwork, and communication - leaving you to continue being a supportive employer, without added pressure.
💸It's Fully Funded - No Cost To You
All support is paid for by the Access to Work grant.
Mind On Side will:
▪️Help your employee apply
▪️Create a support plan and quote
▪️Deliver sessions directly to the employee
▪️Invoice Access to Work directly (not the employer)
There's no cost, no contract, and no disruption to your operations.
