Specific traits of our mental healthcare model
1. Our institutes should be excellent
It is not just about providing care, but providing managed care in an excellent environment, with competent personnel.
2. The focus is on love, charity
Expertise is fine, but not enough - love is as important. Christian-inspired institutes should uphold love as their central value, the highest value lived in a radical way.
3. This love is given a specific hue among the Brothers of Charity because of their preferential love for the less privileged
4. All our commitment and care have but one aim: the promotion of man in all his facets
Mental healthcare by the Brothers of Charity employs a Christian vision on man, inspired by their values which are aimed at caring for the whole human person.
5. Together we can do much
The multidisciplinary model can be sustained only if all staff are ready to form a close-knit team. The Brothers of Charity believe strongly in it, basing themselves on the conviction that healthcare is a matter of concern for every caregiver and an area where everybody can actualize himself/herself fully.
