The charity is a key player in the field of mental health and a pioneer supporting people with mental illness. It advocates for the rights of those with mental illness to receive the support they need to recover and be citizens in their own rights.
The greatest challenge when launching a mental health project is convincing our partners that our innovative work will have a real and positive impact on the lives of those affected and really support them in their recovery.
It’s about having intellectual rigour and refusing to make plans without involving the people concerned, right from the start and throughout the whole process of realising a project.
It’s also about finding the right environment for a project to succeed and removing the all-too-frequent barriers. It’s about combatting the negative images and common misconceptions which lead to fear and rejection of those affected by mental illness.
