- To challenge stigma and inequality of mental ill health so that people receive the proper support they need at the appropriate time.
- To promote the ethos of recovery from mental ill health, by empowering individuals to understand the recovery process by assisting them to develop resilience. Dorset Mind provides a range of support options to assist people in their own recovery.
