• The Sainsbury Centre for Mental Health (SCMH) suggests that conflicts in mental health care can be resolved if practitioners are more aware of their values and those of their clients

 

• Whose Values introduces the idea of values-based practice in mental health. It sets out the skills practitioners need to learn to be aware of values, to know how to explore them and to help to resolve any tensions around them.

 

• Values into Practice intends to raise awareness of how diverse values relate, interact and impact on experiences, actions and relationships in mental health care

 

• Whole Life Values into Practice aims to operationalise the Whole Life values and principles at every level and by all stakeholders involved in the planning, delivery, and use of services.
