Islington Mind

Who we are

We believe that everyone has a right to good mental health. We are here to safeguard and promote the mental health and wellbeing of all adults (18+) Islington residents, and to offer support to residents who experience mental distress, so they:

• improve self-esteem and confidence and live independently in their communities
• reduce the need to access secondary mental health services, so that mental health crisis and hospital admissions are reduced
• reduce the isolation that often accompanies mental illness by offering immediate access to integrated recovery pathways that enable people to live full and enriching lives, and by promoting community integration.improve their capacity to represent their own needs, and make their voices heard
• improve independence, financial security, and resilience – reducing the poverty often accompanying mental ill health, as well as the risk of destitution and homelessness.
•  

We also aim to contribute to a stronger and more cohesive community and to raise awareness surrounding mental health problems, making a significant contribution to the local integrated care.
