Vision, Mission, and Values
Our Vision
We want to create social equality by radically transforming excluded young people’s access to mental health services. Excluded young people are not the problem – in fact they hold the solutions to the problems they face.
When a flower doesn’t bloom you fix the environment in which it grows, not the flower.
– Alexander den Heijer
Our Mission
To help services take what we know works in the clinic, out to meet young people where they are at.
Our Values
Lived experience – We recognise that young people are experts in their own lives and their lived experience holds value that public services need in order to achieve their mission.
Co-production – We cannot do this alone. Designing and delivering services together with other agencies to provide support with, rather than to or for, young people and their communities is a better way to achieve social impact.
Relationships – We know that putting relationships back into the science of health care and social care is central to the solution. Trust is the foundation for transformed public services.
Equality – We will work address the systems that perpetuate the health, social and economic inequalities experienced by excluded groups.
