Time to Change
Bradford District Care Trust is helping to stamp out mental health stigma. In partnership with the Time to Change campaign – a collaboration of national mental health charities, the target is to challenge people’s attitudes and stop stigma ruining lives.
Staff, service users and the local community will join forces on 21 January to see the launch of the ground braking, four year campaign. It will see a number of people affected by mental health problems, their friends and families sharing their story to challenge current attitudes.
Nearly nine out of 10 people are affected by mental health sigma and discrimination and two thirds say that they have stopped doing thing because of stigma.*
Together we can challenge attitudes towards mental health. If you would like more information about the campaign visit www.time-to-change.org.uk or email the communications@bdct.nhs.uk
