MindWise’s Beliefs

Our beliefs and values underpin everything that we do in supporting people affected by severe mental illness and other mental health difficulties. They are:

Dignity & Respect: People have the right to determine their own goals and aspirations and we will support them in their journey to fulfil them.

Recovery: By taking a holistic approach, individuals can be supported to challenge the adverse impact on their lives and achieve a quality of life.

Partnership: Working with service users, carers, mental health professionals and the wider public enables us to influence change and achieve best practice.

Fair Treatment: Everyone has the right to be treated equally and to live their lives free of stigma, discrimination and harassment.

Valuing Everyone: Support given by peers, families, friends, staff, volunteers and carers should be respected and valued.
