The name "ACCEPT " is built upon the charity's values and approach to life and mental health, as described below:
- ACCEPT that we are all of significant worth and have unique gifts and abilities.
- ACCEPT that life has seasons of both darkness and light through which we have the potential to grow.
- ACCEPT all the emotions that we experience and how we deal with them.
- ACCEPT our responsibility to not to be controlled by our feelings and circumstances.
- ACCEPT our responsibility for the decisions that we make and the pattern that our lives take.
- ACCEPT that we are physical, productive, mental and spiritual beings.
- ACCEPT other people and that we have a part to play in their mental health.
- ACCEPT that life is eternal and fullness can be found in God.
" I have made three really good friends though ACCEPT, who I also see outside the group. That has been truly wonderful, as I know they have accepted me and like me for who I really am; something I never expected to happen at all. ACCEPT is the one thing that has given me freedom from being alone."
