About us
Who we are
STAMP Revisited is a user-led organisation, which seeks to empower those experiencing poor mental well-being through advocacy, information, advice, and guidance to give people the tools, help and support they need to allow them to be involved and make their own choices and decisions about their lives.
We provide advocacy services to people in a range of settings, from hospitals, including secure mental health units, residential homes and in the community. For us, advocacy is as simple as helping people have their voice heard, understand their rights, and speak up about what they need and what is important to them.
Our Aims:
- To support and empower those experiencing poor mental health to express their views, be heard and have a direct say on issues critical to their wellbeing and recovery.
- To enable individuals to explore their options and agree a course of action to actively take part in resolving their issues and develop the skills to overcome the barriers to good mental health.
- To empower individuals to make informed choices and support them to identify their personal strengths to gain and remain in control of their lives.
- To defend and promote the rights of those experiencing mental health issues and safeguard them by promoting good practice, and preventing discrimination, neglect, and abuse.
- To promote social inclusion and raise awareness of the obstacles faced by individuals experiencing poor mental health to prevent exclusion and isolation.
- To encourage individuals to broaden their horizons and become active and inclusive members of society.
