The Stigma of Mental Health
"Psychologies magazine recently ran an article about the stigma attached to mental health. Thanks to well-known figures like Stephen Fry and Ruby Wax who have shared some of their personal experiences of mental health and shown us that there are people and places supporting those with mental health disorders, we are beginning to move towards removing some of this stigma.
Rethink's Stigma Shout survey revealed that people experience most discrimination about their mental health problems from those close to them, family, employers, neighbours and friends. Rethink, Mind, Kings College London and Mental Health Media are running a project this year aiming to change our cultural perception of mental health and how we treat people who suffer from mental disorders, " to create concern for mental health and to challenge apathy and neglect" (MIND). Time to Change's Get Moving Week (3rd-11th October 2009) is the opportunity to run events nationwide to promote the benefits of exercise for mental health sufferers. Time to Change is the largest project yet aiming to end discrimination that people with mental health issues face in the UK.
We at the Clinic are fully supportive of these campaigns and complementing medical intervention we offer a valuable source of additional therapies. We have excellent resources available to help people deal with these issues in their daily lives. We have expereinced therapists who have been trained in mental health who can offer counselling, healing, and help with life choices to provide practical and emotional support to face challenges particular to mental health issues day to day.
