Gofal Cymru believe's that Wales needs a mental health anti-stigma campaign.  Successful campaigns are currently running in England (Time to Change) and Scotland (See Me).  Statistics show that the one in four people who experience mental ill health are faced with stigma in their daily lives.  We want to help change that.  You can help too by signing our petition.  Thank you.

The momentum behind this campaign proves that people are finally fed up with the silence surrounding mental health in Wales. We are forcing the government to acknowledge that their inaction toward this stigma is completely unacceptable.

ridiculous that we dont have this already. so many people suffering in silence because they are scared of what people will think.
