shift

Assalamu alaykum

After many months of hard work/ Convincing and lobbying SHIFT has been Comissioned some work around Stigma and Discrimination.

It has many interesting reads for those interested!

www.shift.org.uk


"Shift is a five year initiative that works in areas where people say they experience discrimination the most. With young people, in public services, with employers and the media.


Shift and the National Social Inclusion Programme work together to make sure people with a history of mental health problems have the same chances and opportunities as everyone else.

At Shift, we believe that we all have a mental health problem: the negative effects of the stigma and discrimination that surrounds mental health issues.

We want to build a society where people with mental health problems have the same rights and chances as anybody else. We think that we can all benefit from the skills, knowledge and experience of people with mental health problems.

If you want to know more about how we work, see the About Us section."
