Our Mission – Why we exist

Mission & Values

Mind in Harrow is affiliated to National Mind, the leading mental health charity. Here in Harrow we support people who experience emotional distress through

· providing the highest quality services,

· campaigning to improve services, education to challenge stigma,

· and ensuring the views of those with mental health difficulties are heard and acted upon by decision makers.

Mind in Harrow Commitment to Quality

Mind in Harrow is committed to providing the highest quality community mental health services, which anticipate, meet and exceed the expectations of service users, workers and other stakeholders. As a Local Mind Association (LMA), the quality of our services are assured through Quality Management in Mind (QMiM) standards, assessment and continuous improvement plans.

We want our development to be driven by the needs and experiences of mental health service users and are active supporters of the Harrow User Group.

We are committed to reflecting the diversity of Harrow's communities in all our activities.
