We are Penumbra Mental Health, a pioneering charity providing dedicated
services for people with mild to serious and enduring mental ill health.
We support people on their journey to better mental health, by working with each person to find their own way forward. The power of people’s lived experience enables us to deliver pioneering services which transform lives.
From being there for people in crisis to suicide prevention, supported living to self-harm management and peer support. We are with those we support every step of their journey to a better place. People’s experiences are at the center of everything that we do. We champion peer workers; they know that recovery is possible, because they’ve been there too.
Of course, everyone’s journey is different, so we work with people to identify, believe in, and reach their goals, whatever they may be. Often, it’s about hope, but we know that’s not always easy for people to hold on to. And so, when times are tough, we hold it for them, keeping it safe – just until the time is right.
You see, Penumbra has always been about people; listening and learning,
challenging, encouraging and enabling. It’s why we’re trusted to provide services across Scotland, supporting thousands of people every month, because when people need us, we’re there.
Our vision is that people live with positive mental well-being and can easily access the best support when they need it.
Our mission is to provide exceptional mental health and well-being support and activities, guided by people’s own lived experience, their recovery journeys and their hopes and aspirations.
