Mental Health Aware

Please get involved with this! "@anthonydelaney: Fight stigma around depression: Be part of something amazing: kck.st/19Ot7g4"

This poll was in our local newspaper, it's exactly what we'd like to see happen! The majority agree it seems!

Are there enough policies protecting those with mental health?

Happy Easter!☺

Investing more money into mental health services= a lower crime rate. Let's make it happen.

We are blessed that so many people turned out to our cake sale, we sold out! Happy we are raising money for such a good cause @CharitySANE

We raised £53.03 today in the bake sale which will go to @CharitySANE Thank you to everyone who came and supported us☺

We are having a bake sale tomorrow to raise awareness for SANE charity and the work they do #stopstigma #raiseawareness

It's mental health awareness week! Spread the word☺ #stopthestigma

Sufferers of mental health illnesses DO recover with the right treatment, just like any physical illness.

There are collective approaches to reducing discrimination...•Mad Pride • MindFreedom •StigmaBusters are some of them.

Another stereotype is that having schizophrenia means that you can never do anything with your life.

Another misjudgement is that all ‘schizophrenics’ are violent and dangerous people with serious mental illness are completely disabled.

People think schizophrenia means a split personality. This is not true.

There are a lot of common myths about disability and mental illness

People with a diagnosis do not really carry a mark that sets them aside

Ignorance+prejudice+discrimination = stigma

1/4 of people in the UK will suffer with a mental health problem in the course of a year

Mental health matters - the faster we get rid of the stigma, the faster people can reach out for help.
