Vision and Values

Mind in the Vale of Glamorgan is a charity that works with and for people with mental health problems, their carers and supporters. Mental health problems are very common and can affect anybody at any stage of their life. We believe that many of the ideas that people have about mental illness are based on fear and prejudice and we are firmly committed to challenging these misconceptions.

Mind in the Vale of Glamorgan is committed to working within the ethos of recovery. We recognise that people with experience of mental health difficulties can achieve a full and meaningful life. Mind in the Vale of Glamorgan promotes positive mental health and offers a range of services to help people on their journey of recovery.
