Statement of Purpose
In March 2007 we held a strategic planning retreat where staff, volunteers, and board members came together to discuss how the organization was doing, the state of the organizational environment, and what the organization should do over the next three years. We consulted with those who used our services and programs, community organizations, service providers, and other Schizophrenia Societies to collect information and research that helped inform our strategic plan.
Our objective for strategic planning is to determine how we as an organization can respond to changes in the environment. We also need to ensure long-term sustainability and ensure that the needs and expectations of those affected by schizophrenia and psychosis are met. While we need more time and effort in order to implement our goals, we also recognize the need to create measures for evaluating our success in achieving these goals. We must review and update this plan over the next three years to ensure it is relevant, effective, and appropriate.
We would like to thank all the people and organizations who have contributed their thoughts, experiences, time, and other valuable resources that helped formulate this plan.
