Careif is an international charity, based in London, United Kingdom.
Our main aim is to share knowledge internationally about mental health in order to improve people’s wellbeing. This know how is about how to live healthily, ensure that working practices and services have maximum impact, and are suited to different cultures across the world.
We work to preserve and protect good mental health, in particular but not exclusively by:
- Conducting study and research for the public benefit and publishing and disseminating the useful results
- Increasing awareness of mental health in its local, national and global context amongst professionals, service providers and the public
We work to a core set of values. These are to:
- respect the traditions and values of individual societies and cultures around the world
- encourage people’s natural creativity and to share with and inspire others
- bring together individuals, communities, non government organisations and government bodies to achieve change
- develop evidence of what works through formal research, evaluation and practice based knowledge
- promote positive changes to services (or how services are provided) and good quality care
We deliver our work through:
- high quality learning and teaching locally, nationally and internationally
- research, evaluation and practice development into culture, health and wellbeing
- providing international volunteering, exchange and twinning schemes
- promoting and developing positive practice on sports, young people and wellbeing of individuals and communities
