Empowerment happens when a person who is seen as the problem begins to see him or herself as part of the solution.

We want to create a lasting platform for recovery
We recognise that mental health recovery, family reintegration, and community engagement can be difficult goals. We work towards co-produced objectives to help individuals develop income generation skills, enjoy recreation opportunities in a safe space, and to realise a lasting recovery which meets their own goals in life.

Income

Social interaction

Autonomy

We run activities that address local need, national policy, and international development
There is often a gap between service users and mental health professionals. We work to bridge this by supporting co-production in everything we do and helping others to aspire to and achieve the same.
