This aligns with our strategy for 2018-2022, Changing Minds. Changing Lives. Our mission is to provide the highest quality mental healthcare, to promote mental wellbeing and mental health awareness, and to advocate for the rights of those experiencing mental health
At the heart of the plan is the transformation of our James' Street site into a unique, national centre - the Jonathan Swift Campus for Mentally Healthy Living. This national centre will be the first in the world to provide a full range of mentally healthy living initiatives for the general population alongside the provision of comprehensive recovery based treatment for those with mental health difficulties. The development will also help to enhance St Patrick's Mental Health Services' capabilities to provide the highest quality care to more people while greatly improving the existing campus and scope of service provided.
Key objectives for the development

Create a state of the art campus, integrating the various services and initiatives to facilitate and support multi-disciplinary activity.

Create a more open and natural environment with an emphasis on tranquility and creating positive environmental surrounds to support.

Leverage the distinct heritage and specific location of the campus to increase access and engagement with St Patrick's and its services.
