Time to Change
South Staffordshire and Shropshire Healthcare NHS are holding a seminar on Mental Illness - Fighting Fear and Stigma together which is open to service users, carers and governors on:
Thursday 9th September 2010, 6-8pm at
the Learning Centre,St Georges Hospital
· 1 in 4 people will experience mental health problems sometime during their life
· 1 in 6 people will have depression at some point in their lives
· 1 in 10 people have a disabling anxiety disorder
· 1 in 100 people will live with bipolar or schizophrenia
Problems such as these affect men and women of all ages, races and backgrounds. Chances are we may have some personal experience ourselves, or know someone close to us who does. Yet people who are experiencing mental health problems are often stigmatised by society and experience discrimination on both a personal and professional level. This often compounds the original problem, creating a ‘double whammy’.
In this talk we hope to create a better understanding of how mental wellbeing affects us all. By looking at the facts, challenging the myths and drawing on some of her own personal experience, the speaker aims to shed some light and clarity on a subject that often gets ignored or misrepresented.
