AMT -value statement
'I exist therefore I am'
Every individual is truly special for the very fact that they exist - in spite of all of the odds.
Each of these special lives deserves careful treatment and care to nurture it to fulfillment –
from whatever background it was born into and whatever circumstances have impacted its development.
The Annai trust began as a direct and heartfelt response to the visible gaps in care and attention for wandering women with mental health problems - in the eyes of society they simply did not 'exist' and there were no services to help them recover their lost lives.
In the years since inception, The Annai trust saw many more of these lost lives and designed the missing services to reach out to all... providing the tools for a new life.
This attitude is to help people find their own path to fulfillment - as everyone is unique and has individual needs, aspirations and capacities.
