Penrith Mind was formed in 1986. We became Eden Mind in the summer of 2003 to better reflect the geographical region that we cover - the Eden Valley in Cumbria.

Our Mission Statement:

• Eden Mind exists to enhance the quality of life for people experiencing mental and emotional distress.
• We work towards the promotion of better mental health for the residents of the Eden Valley.
• To achieve this we aim to offer a range of quality services across the area, through improving understanding about mental health issues, challenging discrimination, and campaigning for better local and national services.

Our Values: We believe ...

• that everyone with experience of mental and emotional distress has the right to live a full life and play their full part in society, and to be treated fairly, positively and with respect.
• that everyone experiencing mental and emotional distress has the right to information, choices, and to be involved with their own care and recovery.
• that the experiences, views, opinions and needs of people experiencing mental and emotional distress are valid, and furthermore they drive everything we do at Eden Mind.
• that as an independent organisation we have the freedom and duty to speak out on issues that affect local people and to support and enable individuals in doing the same.
