Mission Statement

Statement of Values We believe:

that every individual has the right to be valued and respected and to share in the opportunities, enjoyment, challenges, responsibilities and choices of everyday life.
that those who experience mental illness, their families and carers, are entitled to quality support in the community or in hospital, as appropriate.
that the opportunity should be provided for those who need care and support to play an active role in decision making within service provision.
that people affected by schizophrenia have a specialised knowledge and expertise, which will be reflected in all that we do.

Our purposes are to:

promote greater understanding of schizophrenia, and thereby break down the barriers of ignorance, prejudice and isolation.
advocate on behalf of groups and individuals affected by schizophrenia to promote the best possible treatment and care.
provide effective support to people affected by mental illness in a way which promotes self determination and reintegration.
promote the development of appropriate services, alone and in collaboration with other statutory and voluntary agencies.
co-operate with, and contribute to research intiatives into the causes, consequences and management of mental illness.
