Workplace Anti-Stigma Champions Network

The aims of the See Us in Work network are to:

• Bring together people that are passionate about tackling mental health stigma and discrimination in their workplace, providing the opportunity to share good practice and other learning around what works.
• Share tools and resources that can help people take anti-stigma messaging and approaches in their workplaces.
• Increase confidence of network members, to make the case for, introduce and carry out anti-stigma activity in their workplace, evaluating the difference these make to colleagues being able to opening conversations about mental health, and recognise and challenge mental health stigma and discrimination in the workplace.
• Learn together about challenges and barriers that people face when championing mental health anti-stigma approaches their workplace, identifying solutions and celebrating successes.
• Support See Me to explore effective ways to support people to take action to tackle mental health stigma and discrimination in their workplaces.

The network is open to any individuals working in Scotland who are passionate about tackling mental health stigma and discrimination in their place of work. You might not think of yourself as a workplace champion but if you motivate colleagues and/or senior leaders to take action to support mental health at work then we think you are, and this network is for you.

• You don’t need to have personal experience of mental health problems to join the network, and you will not be asked to disclose any or feel pressured to share from a personal experience perspective (unless you want to).
• You don’t need to be in a professional role relating to mental health, wellbeing, equality, diversity and inclusion, etc.
