ACTivate Project

ACTivate Project Peer-led wellbeing groups in Essex
Supporting mental health & recovery from addiction
Small, supportive spaces to explore what matters 🌱

The ACTivate Project CIC is a peer-led community initiative based in Essex, supporting people affected by poor mental health and those in recovery from addiction. We deliver small-group programmes inspired by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) principles — a practical, evidence-informed approach that helps people develop psychological flexibility, connect with what truly matters to them, and

take meaningful steps forward even when life feels difficult. Our 8-week programme offers:
• A safe and supportive space
• Practical ACT-based tools and reflection
• Opportunities to explore values and build resilience
• Ongoing connection through a monthly sharing space

ACTivate Project is not a clinical or crisis service. It is a community-based space rooted in lived experience, mutual support and personal growth. We are currently preparing to pilot our first programme and look forward to sharing more soon. If you would like to learn more or express interest in future groups, please get in touch.

You don’t have to wait to feel better to start living differently 🌿
It’s easy to think we need to feel ready, confident, or okay before we take a step forward.
But sometimes change starts the other way round.....with one small step, exactly where you are.
It doesn’t have to be perfect 💛

You’re not broken 🌿
Sometimes our minds can feel overwhelming — like something isn’t right or needs fixing.
But often, what’s showing up is your mind trying to protect you in the best way it knows how…
even if it doesn’t always feel helpful.
You’re not broken — you’re human 💛

If you were to try one small thing this week…
it might just be noticing moments where things feel slightly okay 🌿
No need to change them — just notice 💛

What would it feel like to have a space where you don’t have to have it all figured out?
Where you can just slow down, reflect, and be where you are…
That’s what the ACTivate sessions aim to offer 🌿

Excited to be starting conversations about the ACTivate pilot sessions 🌿
It’s been really positive connecting with services and beginning to share what the programme is about.
Still early days, but I’m looking forward to seeing how things develop 💛

Feeling really grateful after my first meeting today to talk about the ACTivate Project 🌿

It was so positive to be able to share the ideas behind the programme and have conversations about how this kind of support could help people within services.

Still very early days, but I’m feeling excited to continue the conversations and looking forward to another meeting at the end of the week 💛

The ACTivate Project is a small group programme designed to support people to:

🌿 Understand their thoughts
🌿 Connect with what matters
🌿 Take small, meaningful steps forward

It’s not about fixing everything —
just starting where you are 💛
If this feels like something that could help, feel free to follow along or share.

Over the past few years, I’ve seen how powerful it can be when people are given the space to pause, reflect, and feel less alone.
That’s what’s inspired me to start developing the ACTivate Project — a gentle, supportive programme focused on small, meaningful steps forward.
It’s still early days, but I’m really excited to see where this goes 🌿

Just something I’ve been reflecting on lately 🌿
Our minds can be really loud sometimes… and learning to notice those thoughts, rather than getting pulled into them, can be a small but powerful shift.
This is something I’ll be exploring more in the ACTivate sessions 💛

🌱 Learn to make space for difficult thoughts and still move forward.
