Our Strategy
Our Goals
Mikeysline was set up with four main aims.
To this day, they help to provide the focus and motivation behind the work that we do:
- Help fight the Highland wide problem of chronic loneliness
- Provide a light in the dark for those in the depths of depression
- Offer a distraction from thoughts leaning towards self-harm
- Tackle head on the staggering rate of suicide in the Highlands.
Our strategy for the next few years is to build on and continuously improve the support services we offer, which includes expanding our text line service options and meeting more people’s needs on a 1:1 basis at our Hives
This includes reviewing current service provision and taking the Hive on the road to provide outreach support.
Expanding our services into Moray, by raising awareness of the support we offer and how to access our text-based support, available to anyone of any age.
We are also keen to expand the range of support that we can provide to young people both in schools and in the community and in consultation with young people, we will be reviewing how best to achieve this on an ongoing basis.
To work closely with communities, workplaces and schools to challenge the stigma around mental health and suicide through our ‘Bee the Change campaign’ with the aim of changing the dialogue around mental health and suicide, making it easier for people to reach out for support when they need to.
