Help us to establish the FIRST MindFx Centre!
Welcome to MindFx - an integrated best practice and innovation service for young adults, aged 18-27 years, with a lived experience of mental illness and addiction. We are committed to providing better recovery pathways for those individuals affected. Our community-based centres provide a more efficient recovery model using co-ordination and a co-location approach of activities and best practice providers. We will not only look at what is available now but will also be driving new services to meet gaps in recovery from mental illness for young adults and their carers. Those seeking help are free to choose the services/activities that are of interest them.
