About this event
- Event lasts 1 hour
Join us as we launch our new anti-stigma intervention resource for course leaders and lecturers in mental healthcare disciplines who are passionate about ending mental health stigma and discrimination and have a role to play in healthcare workforce development. The Educating for Change resource aims to embed mental health stigma and discrimination in the university curriculum across mental health disciplines. Our intention is to support students to recognise mental health stigma and discrimination, and to know how to challenge and take action against it.

Frequently asked questions
See Me is Scotland’s national programme to end mental health stigma and discrimination. See Me is currently funded by the Scottish Government and is managed by the Scottish Action for Mental Health (SAMH) and Mental Health Foundation Scotland (MHF).
It is estimated that one in three people in Scotland experience mental health problems (Scottish Government), and that around two-thirds of those face stigma and discrimination; that’s over a million people in this country who are being treated unfairly when they’re struggling.
According to latest research, years of stigma and discrimination have left 78% of people with experience of mental illness feeling ashamed and assuming that people in positions of power think the worst of them, including that they are dangerous and to blame for their conditions.
