Croydon APCMH is affiliated to the National APCMH, founded in 1986.
	Whilst founded by members of the Christian community, we are an open organisation and actively encourage participation of members of all faith communities and also those of no religious commitment.
	We welcome all who support our ethos of personal individual integrity.
	Our emphasis is on concern for each other first and foremost as individuals, not our mental health status.
	We are working together with others towards a better understanding of mental health, illness and distress.
	We seek to remove the barriers to acceptance and inclusion which are so often a part of our society.
	Mental health problems cross all boundaries of race, gender, culture, faith, social status and sexuality.
