Action in Mind is a community mental health charity supporting people with mental health difficulties, their families and carers living in Forth Valley, Central Scotland.

Our mission is to be the best we can in supporting and enabling people to achieve good mental health and wellbeing; to develop their full potential, realise their hopes and aspirations, and to lead fulfilling lives.

We provide support services to meet the varying needs and expectations of our diverse clients who range from children and young people (in-school counselling, or 16+ if no longer at school) to adults (from 18 years and upwards). All our services are person-centred and designed to support and enable clients to work towards achieving their self-determined outcomes.

Integral to supporting referred individuals is recognising how important it is for families and carers to be active partners in care planning and support, while also recognising that they themselves may need support or respite as informal caring can make people feel isolated and lonely, apprehensive and disempowered. Developing trusting relationships with families and carers enhances client support in a direct and meaningful way, but also lets them know they are valued and should also be supported, if needed.

See The Person

At Action in Mind we believe that mental health should not define the person, it is a part of the person.

Inclusive & Open

Our approach is to be inclusive of people with lived experience of mental health and open to change and innovation in service approaches and delivery.

Care & Quality

Anyone experiencing mental ill-health should be listened to and treated with compassion, respect and understanding, and have access to good quality care and support at time of need.

Integrity & Accountability

As mental health advocates we must uphold the trust placed in us by all our stakeholders and demonstrate professional integrity and accountability at all times.

Our role extends to tackling mental health stigma, including self-stigma and discrimination, through local awareness raising and campaigning initiatives.
