Stuff Stigma drive to stop prejudice: Rethink launches three–year campaign in Norwich
Stuff Stigma is the name of a campaign recently launched in Norfolk in an attempt to banish prejudice towards people with mental health needs. Run by mental health charity Rethink, the three–year campaign aims to increase mental health awareness among people in Norwich and change people’s behaviour towards those with mental illness. Activities to expose and eradicate discrimination will include anti–stigma weeks in schools and colleges, mass walks, and the publication of a book called Normal for Norfolk, which will feature inspiring mental health stories from local people. There will also be opportunities for mental health service users to engage with the community through physical activity. Through these events people with mental health needs and others in the community will interact in more depth than would otherwise be the case.
