We are a charity and housing association providing services for people affected by substance use.
We stand together in solidarity with those who use drugs, advocating for dignity, respect, and harm reduction. This day is a reminder that people who use drugs are people with rights, and they deserve access to health services, support, and a society that doesn't judge but understands.

This #WorldMentalHealthDay, we’re calling for fair access to residential treatment for people with co-occurring mental health & substance use issues.

Residential care may not be right for everyone, but for those who need it, it should be there for them.

At HMP Wayland, a group of prisoners are leading the way in challenging stigma through an Anti-Stigma Committee, set up with support from Phoenix staff. The committee was created after concerns that people in prison were frequently subjected to stigmatising language and behaviours.
