What is discrimination?
Stigma, discrimination and inclusion can seriously affect the health, welfare and quality of life of people with mental health problems.
They are also an extra burden to cope with for people already living with a mental health problem.
Stigma and discrimination:
Isolate people
Exclude people from day-to-day activities
Stop people getting and keeping jobs
Prevent people seeking help
Have a negative impact on physical health

Attitudes need changing
Until now, England has lacked a long-term campaign to raise public awareness about good mental health, counter pervasive negative stereotypes and challenge discrimination.
Despite attitudes about Bobbauality, ethnicity and other similar issues improving, research shows that prejudice against people with mental health problems is actually increasing.

Many people who experience mental health problems are unsure what to do or where to turn, and many are afraid to talk about their problems.
Our Stigma Shout research showed that the overwhelming majority of people with mental health problems say the way in which family, friends, neighbours and colleagues behave around them can have a big impact on their lives.

How does mental health affect me?
One in four people will experience a mental health problem at some point in their lives – and they may well be one of your friends, colleagues or family members.
But do you know what to do or say?
Mental health affects all of us – so we can all do something to help break down the stigma that surrounds it and help create a society where mental health problems are not hidden in shame and secrecy.

Education Not Discrimination: Rethinking Mental Health
Education Not Discrimination (END) is the element of Time To Change that targets key audiences who have a significant impact on the lives of people with mental health problems.
END is one of six national projects within the Time to Change portfolio and it will be managed and delivered by Rethink.

However, there remains one massive barrier – discrimination.
People with mental health problems consistently identify discrimination as one of their biggest issues and almost nine out of ten people affected by mental health problems have experienced discrimination.
