SAMHC Principles of Community Engagement

The SA Mental Health Commission’s Principles of Community Engagement

The SA Mental Health Commission is committed to engaging in a way which is meaningful, welcoming and relevant to people, communities and stakeholders because we believe that they are best placed to identify and help us understand the challenges they face, and solutions they seek.

We do it together.

These are our principles:

1. We start together
2. We know we are engaging and we communicate this clearly
3. We know who to engage and how to engage them
4. We know the background and history
5. We are genuine
6. We care about people
7. We are creative, relevant and engaging
