Like Minds Like Mine
'If you're in there freaking out, hang onto hope, grab hold of it.
There is a way through it.'
(John Kirwan)
Vision
'A nation that values and includes all people with experience of mental illness'
OUR LIKE MINDS LIKE MINE (LMLM) SERVICE
- Enable all people with experience of mental illness to gain equality and respect and to enjoy the same rights as others;
- Change public and private sector policy to value and include all people with experience of mental illness;
- Create greater understanding, acceptance and support for all people with experience of mental illness.
We do this by providing:
- Workshops that challenge discrimination and stigmatization;
- Personal stories and experiences through community radio, newspapers and other media;
A seasonal newsletter 'Against Negative Thinking' (ANT) showcasing personal successes and organisation activities; - Leadership and role-modeling to people with experience of mental illness;
- Presentations to the wider community.
LMLM Educators: Provide workshops that advocate for non-discriminatory policies and practices; develop and strengthen infrastructure to improve cooperation and co-ordination to achieve the aims of the project.
ANT Editor: Gathers together personal stories, up-to-date relevant information and news on organisation's activities for seasonal publication.
