Useful resources

These resources might help you plan or run your own activity:

Understanding stigma and discrimination

• Stigma Shout survey report

Our survey of over 3,000 service users and carers helped us develop our campaign by telling us where people experience stigma and discrimination, which groups or settings should be targeted and what messages might be useful.  If you’re developing a local campaign it could be a good starting point for you, too.

Working with BME communities

• 'Family Matters' report

Our report looks at attitudes and behaviour towards people with mental health problems in thr South Asian community in Harrow, London. 

Tools to help you run an activity

• Myth/Fact quiz

This simple quiz can be a good conversation starter at events and helps give people basic knowledge about mental health issues.

• Human library guide

Our guide to running a human library - a great awareness-raising activity which brings people together to learn from each others' experiences.
