Changing Minds: Every Family in the Land

Abstract

Our 5-year long campaign to reduce the stigmatisations of and discriminations against people with mental illnesses, launched as an outline endeavour in October 1998, is now in its third year. This update is intended to reveal that since 1998 we have been constructively busy and are poised to go public’ in major ways. We are now therefore appealing to the membership at large to join in the tasks. To this end we have been busy generating a tool kit that you may wish to draw upon and a series of proposed projects, some of which are already underway and some of which you may be able to pick up on or adapt for local purposes, in addition to any of your own initiatives.
