St John's receives Enabling Environment Award
The Enabling Environment Award is achieved when an organisation can evidence that they place value on creating a positive and effective social environment, for both recipients and providers with a focus on building healthy relationships.
In October 2023, St John’s were successful in achieving the Enabling Environment Award, granted by the Royal College of Psychiatrists Centre for Quality.
In 2015 St John's became the first independent approved premises in the region to receive the award, since then St John’s have achieved the award on two further occasions with the most recent award running until October 2026.
