The Boundaries, Essex

What you will find at the accommodation

How the service works

The Boundaries provides short-term supported living for people with severe or enduring mental health issues. The service focuses on helping you build the skills and confidence you need to move on to more independent accommodation.

During your stay, staff will work closely with you to support your recovery and independence. You will have a key worker who meets with you regularly to agree goals and track progress. Support is tailored to your needs and includes help with daily living, managing your tenancy, and preparing for your next move.

When you are ready, you will be supported to move on to lower-level supported housing or, where possible, independent living. Resettlement support is provided to help make this transition as smooth as possible.

Getting the most out of the service

  • Support to access local community services and external agencies, such as MIND
  • Help to build confidence and independence within the local community
  • Support with tenancy management, debt, and everyday living skills
  • Guidance to move into independent living or suitable long-term supported housing

Who the service is for

  • Aged 18–64
  • Have a diagnosis of an enduring mental health issue
  • Referrals are made through the Local Authority only

How this service is different

The Boundaries is guided by the mission “Transforming Lives, Revitalising Neighbourhoods.” The service focuses on empowering people to move forward positively, with stronger support networks and greater independence.
