LEARN HOW TO BUILD THE ACTION, SUCCESS AND HAPPIEST MINDSET
Since 2006, through an integrated approach, focused on improving mind health and wellness outcomes for young people, I have been remained steadfast in my committment to help create an India where young people are connected to their community, have easy-to-access support and services to face challenges to their mind health, wellness and wellbeing and live, learn, work and play in a society that understands and values mind health.
Through a range of online consultations, as an organisation, we looked at ourselves from inside and out. We thought, and talked, about mental health and wellbeing and the issues facing young people in India today. We looked at the wider charity and health sectors and we engaged with our colleagues overseas. We listened to each other and spent considerable time thinking.
From the start, this strategic development process was seen by all as a unique opportunity; an opportunity to address key areas - in our ever-changed India.
​
What role do we have? What impact can we make? What’s achievable? What’s afordable? What aspirations do we hold?
​
We are ambitious and bold about changing the current paradigm in approaches to mental health. We aim to continue to inspire change, and to be pioneering, disruptive, brave and determined in creating positive change across INDIA
UPMYMIND IN A CHNAGING INDIA
I am pleased and proud to say that our board, senior management team and young people engaged with the task and each other with such commitment and enthusiasm.
​
I want to thank you all for helping us form this new plan.
​
The fruits of that work are now contained in these pages. We are setting out to further evolve how we achieve better MIND health outcomes for young people. We recognise that to do this we need to have a high performing organisation. Our plans are ambitious, rooted in our values, but also considered and based on a trusted understanding of young people.
​
In developing Together, UPMYMIND’s Organisational Strategy 2024-2029, we were keenly aware of key drivers of change – the defining role the Covid-19 pandemic has played, and will continue to play, in all our lives; the scale and impact of climate change on our lives and the lives of those to come; the ever increasing role of digital technologies across societies; changes to patterns of consumption; the growing global debate on issues of social justice, race and diversity and more.
​
At UPMYMIND, our values guide our daily actions and behaviours and influence the way we work with each other. As we look forward, we strive to embed them in our everyday work. In our actions we are collaborative, compassionate, progressive, we value young people, diversity, evidence and integrity. We are ambitious and bold about changing the current paradigm in approaches to mental health. We aim to continue to inspire change, and to be pioneering, disruptive, brave and determined in creating positive change across Globe.
​
At UPMYMIND, we believe that each of us has strengths to build on, whatever our past experience, life circumstances or current situation. These strengths are found in individuals, families, communities and organisations.
​
Equally, our lives are shaped by the events and traumas we have experienced. Our work is focused on supporting young people as they tell, and understand, their own stories. We help find the best ways for the individual to become independent, connected with their community, nature and themselves.
