What they said about EQIS
Jo Wilkinson, Centre Manager at St. Joseph's Family Centre; 'EQIS serves as a testament to our ongoing commitment to providing high-quality mental health services and reflects our dedication to continuous improvement and excellence. The framework helps us to systematically address the diverse needs of our clients, ensuring that everyone receives the care and support they need and deserve.'
Ian & Nathan, Founders of More Than Men CiC; 'As a new group starting out, we couldn't of managed without it. It helped us put the right policies in place, not just for our own guidance but for the well-being and safety of the lads we support. EQIS has given us structure, confidence, and lets others know that what we do meets a high standard, without ever changing who we are or how we connect with people.'
Mandy Taviner, Chief Executive, Warrington Speak Up; 'In Warrington we have worked hard as a collective of organisations (small and large) providing much needed mental health support, to establish a set of quality standards that promotes good, safe and effective practice. EQIS is a quality framework that provides reassurance to the public, confidence to referrers, and ongoing support to the organisation who is working towards achieving or maintaining the accreditation. I am proud to be part of a network of organisations that are passionate about the work they do, the people they support and are committed to working together to provide quality mental health and wellbeing support across our local communities.'
These groups have also been listed on the Happy Ok Sad website. Happy Ok Sad is a Warrington Borough Council online directory providing mental health support and guidance.
