See change: The national mental health stigma reduction partnership in Ireland

Abstract

See Change is Ireland’s national programme working to positively change social attitudes and behaviour so that there is a reduction of stigma and discrimination associated with mental health problems, ensuring that everyone in Ireland enjoys the same rights on an equal basis. See Change works within a number of interrelated settings: finding the conversation, joining in and working with people and communities on the ground. This is Ireland’s first ever national stigma reduction partnership and exists to inspire a disruptive social movement in Ireland to reduce the stigma and discrimination of mental health problems so that mental health problems are viewed as part and parcel of being human-in the workplace, at home, out and about, in the media and everywhere else.
