Support. Connection. Hope.
Change Starts Today
A community supporting people through mental health challenges, addiction recovery, and suicide awareness.
Better Today
Who Are We?
Better Today was founded out of a response to the devastation caused by addiction, mental health and suicide in our local area. Too many lives have been lost, too many families and friends left broken, and too many people left without hope. Better Today exists to change that.
Our team is made up of people who have lived it — friends, family members, and individuals directly affected by mental health, suicide and addiction and their consequences. We know the pain, but we also know the possibility of change. That’s why we are committed to building spaces where people can find support, connection, and a new direction.
From coaching and wellbeing sessions to youth projects and creative community events, our work is rooted in resilience and recovery. We believe that no matter what someone has been through, every day offers the chance to take a step forward.
At Better Today, we don’t pretend to have all the answers — but we do promise to walk alongside people as they find their own path. Because transformation starts small, and it starts with the belief that today can be better.
Better Today
What We Do
We support people facing mental health challenges, money worries, addiction, or anyone who simply needs a friendly face.
Our daily online content — including support videos, Q&As, and motivational posts — reaches people where they are, while our group meetings, 1-to-1 sessions, and coffee mornings offer real-life spaces to connect.
We also run creative and wellbeing activities like poetry sessions, wellness days, and retreats. And through our podcasts and training courses, we give a voice to lived experiences, breaking stigma and inspiring hope.

Podcasts
At Better Today, we believe stories save lives. That’s why our podcast series gives a voice to people with real, lived experience of addiction, mental health challenges, and suicide.
Each episode features a guest sharing their unique journey — the highs, the lows, and the turning points that shaped them. These are raw, honest conversations that cut through stigma and silence, offering listeners both awareness and hope.
But our podcasts are more than just stories. We draw out the lessons within each journey, highlighting the learning points that others can take away. Whether it’s recognising early warning signs, understanding the impact on families, or discovering what recovery can look like, every episode is designed to inspire reflection and positive change.
By listening, you’re not only supporting those brave enough to share their experiences — you’re also joining a wider conversation about resilience, community, and the possibility of a better today.
What's Going On?
