What are the myths about mental illness, and what are the realities? This 20 minute video examines the attitudes of the public, professionals, employers, journalists and family members.

In this video people diagnosed with a number of mental health problems describe the impact of stigma and labels on their lives. They talk candidly from their own experiences about what it is like to live with the label ‘mentally ill’. Professionals talk about where their own prejudices can come from. This video and the accompanying training pack are ideal training resources for all those involved in educating and informing about mental health – mental health awareness trainers, mental health practitioners, teachers, police, social workers, carers and employers.

This product includes a video and training pack.
