This group seeks to enable diocesan staff, churches and communities to welcome people with mental health issues and to be confident in their understanding and support of all those with such issues.
Ensuring the highest standards of good practice and support of those with mental health issues, the group will support clergy, staff and volunteers who encounter people with mental health issues and those who may themselves experience mental health problems.
Working together, we believe we can eliminate the stigma associated with mental illness. We can also encourage county and local statutory bodies (including Health and others) to see the church as a key partner in developing safe and supportive communities for people with mental health issues.
