Our Mission and Values

Chelmsford Mind is affiliated to National Mind and as such follows the same vision and values:

We are working to:

Change society: we want to influence public attitude towards those experiencing mental health distress.

Provide support: we work with the local Mind association network and other partners to improve the delivery of services for people experiencing mental distress.

Give people a voice: the needs and experiences of people with mental distress drive our work and we make sure their voice is heard. We will champion the right of people with direct experience of mental distress to have a voice and be heard.

Create mentally healthy communities: we help people to take control over their mental health. We do this to make it possible for people who experience mental distress to live full lives, and play their full part in society.

We aim to do this by:

• Employing strategies to achieve better mental health for our service users
• Raising funds to enable these strategies to be carried out and sustained
• Involving service users and volunteers
• Training and educating to reduce stigma created by mental health
• Working in partnership with other relevant organisations
