Press & Media

People experiencing mental health problems, one in four people of working age, report that there remains considerable stigma about their situation even though mental health problems are as common as asthma and diabetes but are less understood.  Central Government has recently published information to address the issue of stigma and this information can be found at www.shift.org.uk.
