Our Values

Our Vision:

“Promoting and providing high quality support for those experiencing mental distress”

Our Purpose:

We will provide high quality services which ranges from those that support mental wellbeing and health promotion to those offering a specialist recovery based approach. We will challenge the stigma that surrounds mental distress.

Our Core Values:

1. Supporting Recovery and well-being
2. For people to be in control of their lives
3. Respect for the individual
4. Reputation for Excelling in Quality

Envisioned Future:

Our vision for Birmingham Mind in 2015 is to be a leading mental health charity.  We want to work with local people and communities to promote mental wellbeing as well as providing more specialist recovery based services for those that need it.  We want to be seen as a learning charity which works in partnership with other providers to enable better services to support individual wellbeing and recovery. 

Our track record on recovery based services will help us deliver more wellbeing services without losing our specialist focus.  We will work with local communities and service users to lead local services that meet people’s needs and aspirations.  Our specialist provision will continue to be based on maximising people’s strengths and working from a recovery philosophy.  

We will continue our work with older adults with mental health issues, in particular dementia, and focus on innovative ways of supporting people in the environment they choose to maximise control and enjoyment. 

Our staff will be committed, well trained and supported and will enjoy working for the charity.
