What we Believe in

- Mental health is fundamental to achieving a healthy, balanced, and productive life.
- Treatment offers a powerful return on investment and treatment does work if used appropriately. With treatment options, what was only hope in the past is quickly becoming a reality. We will persistently advocate for treatment and services for those who need them.
- We must promote community understanding of mental illness to combat stigma and lead in encouraging people living with the illness to seek help.
- The goal of treatment is recovery
- It is important for people living with mental illness to be an integral part of their recovery process – decisions, programs, support groups, medication regimens.
- We fulfill our mission most effectively when we collaborate with others and when we actively look for partners to achieve our goals.
