Mental Health Europe, launch anti-stigma and discrimination campaign: called ” EACH OF US.”

The campaign’s objective is to change peoples’ minds about mental health and debunk myths and misconceptions about people with mental health problems. Journalists can play a pivotal role in helping us endmental health stigma!

The media is extremely powerful and is consumed by millions of people every day.

We  want to encourage journalists to use their influence when reporting on mental health so as not to reinforce misconceptions and stereotypes or create sensationalist  articles which can cause huge distress and offence to the one in four people who will experience mental health problems. The language used should be as descriptive as possible, and avoid labelling or stigmatising terms.
