All too often people with experience of mental distress are misunderstood, labelled and denied the opportunities that others take for granted. At Mental Health Media we know that the most powerful way to challenge this prejudice is to help them get across the real story about mental health, change media representations, and lead the fight against discrimination.

We’re developing and delivering a range of projects which aim to educate and give people the tools and skills to take action. And we work with journalists and broadcasters to inform their coverage of mental health issues. We also run the annual Mental Health Media Awards which recognise and celebrate television and radio programmes about mental health which have the power to change minds and lives.
