Tenacity is about what happens when the going gets tough. People often need not one attempt at getting well but many. Our support is there during the tough times as well as the good times.
For us, empathy is being able to put ourselves in the shoes of people who come to us for help. It’s not about sympathy or having been in the same situation ourselves. It is about seeing things through another person’s eyes.
Our ethical framework is embodied in our approach to the work we do. We are inclusive, supportive and non judgemental. We respect our clients as individuals, the choices that they make and their right to dignity.
Every day is full of challenges, both for us and those who use our services. We challenge people to make changes to their lives. In return, we are challenged to provide the best service we can.
Independence Trust is a Gloucestershire Charity. We support individuals, families, and communities with concerns about mental health, alcohol or drugs. We help people to build self esteem and confidence, so that they can take more control of their lives, become more independent and realise their potential.
