Our Philosophy is that anyone can have a conversation that may save a life, therefore everyone should learn to know how to have that life-saving conversation. Our Belief is that; if there are to be greater gains in sustainable prevention, early intervention, self-help, and support of others in the community, then we need a society in which basic knowledge and practical skills of mental health literacy are more widely distributed. Our Greater Emphasis is on increasing public knowledge and practical skills of Mental Health Crisis Support Practices® (MHCSP™) and on empowering people experiencing disabling symptoms as the person affected by the symptoms (either personally or through close contact) is seen as the primary agent in symptom management.
