dignity in mental health care

Dignity in mental health care means respecting a person’s worth, feelings, and rights regardless of their mental health condition. It involves treating individuals with kindness, understanding, and without judgment, ensuring their privacy and choices are honored. This approach fosters a supportive environment where people feel safe, valued, and empowered to participate in their recovery. Upholding dignity is essential for effective care, as it helps build trust, encourages open communication, and promotes overall well-being and recovery.
