What we value

The Personal Helpers and Mentors Program was developed following consultations across Australia.

People involved in these consultations included people with mental illness, families and carers groups, clinical experts, mental health groups, and organizations that provide services and support to people with mental illness.

These consultations identified some key values about the program and how it should work.

These values are:

• Mutual respect and compassion
• Empowerment
• Strong relationships and trust
• Commitment
• Flexibility
• Collaboration
• Involvement

Our Personal Helpers and Mentors teams are committed to these values.
