Purpose

Mielle was established in 1987. We provide both workshop & day activities and offer free-of-charge low-threshold activities open for everyone.

Our goal is to increase mental well-being, to develop the availability and quality of mental health services and to do preventative mental healthcare work.

We also want to make sure that the special needs of the people in need of mental health services are taken into consideration when these services are planned and decisions about them are made.

Members of the board

The members and board of our association consists of local residents who either have experience in mental health work or an overall interest to volunteer for mental health work and its development.

The members of the board are Juha Silander (chairman), Jarkko Pirttiperä (vice-chairman), Pirkko Vartiainen, Hanna Ehrnrooth and Ritva Heiman. Tuula Mulju and Sinikka Blomqvist serve as deputy members.

Recovery orientation

We do our work based on the philosophy of the so called recovery orientation. We believe that you don’t have to wait until you have recovered or your symptoms have stopped to do nice things or wait for them to happen. You can and may live a full life from this moment on!
