We’re currently recruiting new volunteers to join us in our work to tackle mental health stigma and discrimination.
We’ve now closed applications for new volunteers.
If you've applied, please keep reading on to learn the next steps of the process and key dates.
What is mental health stigma and discrimination?
Stigma
“The negative attitudes or beliefs based on a preconception, misunderstanding or fear of mental health”
An example might be someone incorrectly thinking that all people with mental health problems are dangerous because they have seen it in a film or in the news.
Discrimination
“When a person performs an action, whether intentional or unintentional, that creates barriers and inequality for people with lived experience of mental health problems.”
An example of this is not inviting someone for a job interview based on disclosure of a mental health problem.
What's it like to volunteer with See Me?
Current See Me volunteers have created some short films to give you a little bit more information about what it’s like to volunteer with See Me. You can view these on YouTube, or check out Suzanne's story below...
