Our Guiding Principles
Lived Experience at the Forefront
Our design and actions are deeply rooted in lived experiences. While valuing this expertise, we complement it with the care provided by clinicians and holistic health experts, ensuring a well-rounded approach to mental health support.
Empowerment Over Symptomatic Relief
We champion the credo of 'helping people help themselves.' Our focus extends beyond mere symptomatic relief as we guide community members toward recovery, rehabilitation, and social integration.
Access to Quality Mental Health Services
We endeavour to provide affordable, high-quality mental health services. We will endeavour to ensure that users are not denied services due to financial constraints.
Holistic and Evidence-Based Approach
We advocate for an integrated approach to mental health that goes beyond the Biomedical model. Our methods include supporting care received from Clinicians with complementary approaches. These include yoga, regular exercise, nutrition, mindfulness practice and community support groups.
Advocacy for Inclusive Employment
Recognizing the challenges faced by individuals with mental health conditions in securing employment, we actively engage with organizations to create inclusive workplaces and prioritize hiring from among our own peer community; extending to persons living with mental health conditions in general.
Embracing Intersectionality
Our policies and practices reflect the complex interplay of various social factors like race, gender, and socio-economic status in mental health. We ensure that our programs are sensitive to these nuances and cater to the diverse needs of our community.
Non-Discrimination
We steadfastly practice non-discrimination on any grounds, including caste, religion, colour, gender, sexual orientation, and socio-economic background, ensuring an inclusive and welcoming environment for all.
Ethical Commitment
Our commitment to ethics, compassion, and fairness is unwavering. This will be reflected in our transparent operational practices and the respectful manner in which we would treat all individuals.
Collaborative Impact
We recognize the power of collaboration in achieving social impact. Our partnerships are carefully chosen to align with organizations and individuals who share our values and our commitment to mental health.
