“Mainstay is a provider of choice. One in four people suffers from mental ill health. This may be a stressful day at the office or home, a bout of depression, or a psychotic episode that requires the support from a health professional. Mainstay is an organisation that seeks to support people who live in the community and suffer from mental ill health. “The services offered are individual support packages and group support. Mainstay is a great believer in placing the service user at the heart of their recovery journey. The services offered are underpinned by the recovery model and have elements of social care and education as a vehicle for the recovery journey”  - Lynne James (Mainstay CEO 2017)
