How do we help?
We support individuals living with serious mental health conditions on their recovery journey, transiting from hospital in-patient care to independent living in the community.
Hope Restoration and Health Initiative fills a critical gap in the mental health care system, by providing a step between.
Our recovery objectives include:
(1) Cultivating a sense of community through strong relationships, peer support, and belonging;
(2) Inspiring hope for the future, encouraging aspirations, and motivating positive change;
(3) Rebuilding self-esteem by moving beyond the stigma of illness and recognizing personal strengths;
(4) Discovering purpose and meaning through reflection on illness experiences;
(5) Promoting personal responsibility, autonomy, and self-determination.

We offer short-term supported accommodation for people with mental health conditions who would otherwise be homeless.

Introducing…
The Executive Stress Management Forum
- For Business Executives and Human Services Professionals -
Good health is good business!
Man has done so much to make the workplace ‘body-friendly’ and safe. There is also a vast amount of knowledge now about various common causes of ill-health arising from work, or made worse by work, and what can be done about them in various work situations.
Mental Health and Work
Little attention has been, and sadly is still being paid to issues of emotional well-being in work establishments, even though science is fast revealing that the state of mind determines the state of health.
It is well known that significant problems of an emotional nature inevitably occur in any employee group, and represent a serious disruptive factor in the effective functioning of the group.
Emotional and relationship problems are silent killers of productivity at work through persistent and recurrent bodily ailments, absenteeism, accidents, etc.
A sound mind is needed for sound business.
Work and mental health
Work is necessary for satisfactory functioning of the mind and maintenance of emotional health; however, up to 50% of psychological stress experienced by people have been found to originate from their work situations and conditions.
This is more pronounced among certain groups of workers in human-services occupations, whose work involves much interaction with people in need of help and services.
A lot of workers have stress-related difficulties and physical health conditions (such as high blood pressure, ulcer, headaches, indigestion, heavy drinking and anxiety states), a great deal of which are preventable if conditions at work are made ‘mind-friendly’ and people could learn how to cope with stress, such as learning to recognise and change their responses to potentially stressful situations.
