Mental Health

The Facts

1 in 4 brits will experience a mental health problem at some point in their lives.   If it doesn’t happen to you it will happen to someone you know.  A high level of stigma about mental health problems exists within society.  Stigma and discrimination are unjustified, unfair and can be illegal.

For some people, the stigma can be more distressing and scary than the symptoms of their mental illness.

Over 80% of people with mental ill health make a full recovery. Contrary to popular belief, the overwhelming majority of people with mental health problems are neither violent or dangerous. Stigma and discrimination are unjustified, unfair and can be illegal.  

Let's STOP the STIGMA of HIV & Mental Health problems!
