• Have state-of-the-art, trauma informed, therapeutic environments which allow people to recover.
• Ensure all our services, whether in an inpatient or community setting are autism friendly. This could be improving our environments, as well as ensuring all our staff are suitably trained in how to care for people with autism.
• Work with and employ people with lived experience, who can help care for our patients. It’s increasingly clear that people benefit from receiving are and support from both clinicians and those who have had a similar experience.

By fundraising for these key areas with our communities, we can significantly improve the experience and recovery chances for many of our patients who experience poor mental health.
