About Us
The journey people take to reclaim their lives when they have a mental illness or are homeless is a very personal process. Mind’s role in this journey is to encourage individual solutions that help people take control of their lives, foster self-belief and connect people with the community. Mind does this through a holistic approach that facilitates people to:
- Set goals and achieve them
- Manage their mental and physical health
- Develop a clearer sense of personal identity
- Develop trusting and supportive relationships
- Get back to work, school or tertiary studies
- Develop skills to live independently in the community
We see recovery as a process which involves accepting, adapting and moving along pathways to participate more fully in the community. Recovery does not necessarily mean being symptom free or ‘cured’, but learning to come to terms with, manage and live well even in the presence of a mental illness.
Mind has more than 60 programs across Victoria and South Australia, employing more than 400 staff and provides services to more than 2,000 people each year. We have proven expertise in the areas that we operate in and a solid reputation built over 30 years of delivering services.
Over the past 30 years not only have thousands of people have been helped to live independent, productive and satisfying lives by involvement with Mind but connections have also been rebuilt with loved ones and friends.
Mind provides a comprehensive range of programs including; residential rehabilitation, outreach services, transition to independent living, transition to stable and secure accommodation, respite for carers, volunteer and mentor programs, individual service packages and programs that foster healthy living, creative expression and participation in employment.
