MindWise Strategy 2026 – 2031: Braver & Bolder

Today, MindWise is proud to launch our Braver & Bolder Strategy 2026–2031, a renewed commitment to challenging convention with courage and care, and to driving meaningful change in mental health across Ireland.

This strategy reflects months of listening, learning and collaborating with the people who matter most: our clients, carers, families, volunteers, staff, partners, funders and policy‑makers. Their insights, experiences and aspirations have shaped this ambitious roadmap for the years ahead.

At its core, our strategy reinforces what has guided MindWise since the beginning:
Mental Health is Everyone’s Business.

A Vision for Change

Our vision remains unchanged but more important than ever:
A world where mental health and wellbeing is everyone’s business.

We know that mental health challenges continue to rise, that gaps in support persist, and that individuals, families and communities across Ireland deserve more. Our strategy sets out how MindWise will respond to these needs through sustainable growth, high‑quality services, and continued leadership in the mental health sector.

Our Pillars: The Foundation of Everything We Do

The strategy is anchored in four core pillars that reflect who we are and how we work:

• Human Rights
• Trauma‑Informed Practice
• Recovery
• Client Engagement

These pillars guide every service, partnership and decision we make. They ensure dignity, safety, empowerment and meaningful involvement are at the heart of our approach.

Our Corporate Goals

Over the next five years, MindWise will focus on four key goals:

1. Empowering Lives

Delivering high‑quality services, education and advocacy — and influencing policy and practice across Ireland.

2. Investing in Our People

Supporting and developing our staff and volunteers, and upholding best practice standards across the organisation.

3. Driving Agility and Digital Maturity

Strengthening our systems, data and technology to deliver better outcomes for more people.

4. Sustainable Growth, Impact and Innovation

Expanding our reach, evidencing impact and investing in innovative solutions that respond to unmet need.

These goals will guide our work as we support individuals and families across the lifespan — from early years through older adulthood — and create stronger, more connected communities.
