PROP
The PROP Stress Centre is a user-led community mental health service for people living in the Greater Pilton area of Edinburgh. The essence of PROP is individuals working together to improve the mental health and well-being of their community. We believe people should be first and foremost be seen as themselves rather than their mental health difficulties. Above all, PROP is about helping people grow.
If you want some support, friendship, understanding or just a friendly face, then come along to the Centre. We offer relaxation sessions; well-being groups for people new to the Centre; other groups such as building your self-confidence, arts and crafts. There is a regular newsletter detailing our future plans and activities. There are also weekly daytime drop-in sessions.
So, if you are feeling fed-up, depressed, stressed, anxious or isolated, please phone for an informal chat and an appointment. We are open from Monday to Thursday, 9am to 4pm.

The PROP Stress Centre - Statement of Values
We believe that
• |
Everyone has a state of mental health |
• |
People's ability to achieve and maintain positive mental health will be affected by many things, including:
- having a sense of purpose and belonging
- having choices
- level of income
- having access to support
- quality of personal relationships
- living environment, etc
|
• |
People should first and foremost be seen as themselves rather than their mental health difficulties |
• |
It is unhelpful to put human beings into categories and/or make assumptions about them on the basis of their colour, disability, sexual orientation, gender, mental health status, etc |
• |
People will grow through being actively involved in the way services are provided |
• |
People can be more effective when they work together with others |
• |
Everybody has the potential to grow and change |
• |
People should be enabled and encouraged to find their own solutions rather than having them imposed by others |
• |
People should be supported to work with their difficulties rather than avoiding them |
These values are based on the PROP Stress Centre's experience as a user-led organisation. The values underpin both the provision and planning of services.
