Action in Mind

Action in Mind is a member of the ALLIANCE.

Our vision

A time when people experiencing mental ill-health are not defined by their mental health, but feel accepted and valued, and free of stigma and discrimination.

Our mission

To be the best we can in supporting and enabling people to have good mental health; to help them develop their full potential, realise their hopes and aspirations and to lead fulfilling lives.

Our principles and values

Changing social attitudes and behaviours: No person should be defined by their mental health nor should any person be treated unfairly or discriminated against because of their mental health.

Respect and dignity: Everyone is entitled to respect and dignity when receiving care and support. Everyone should be listened to and treated with compassion and understanding.

Open and inclusive: At the heart of why we exist and what we do are people whose lives are affected by mental ill-health, their carers and families. We should learn from them of what is important and needs to change if we are to support them to take care of their mental health and wellbeing, and to claim that ownership. Integrity and accountability: As mental health advocates we must demonstrate our professional integrity at all times in what we say and do.
