A nationwide wide campaign, focusing on the different aspects of mental health showing the nation it isn't something to be afraid of. (TV adverts, posters, leaflets, awareness days) Certain ethnicity's are more likely to suffer in silent, 'target' campaigning can encourage them to seek help.
Introducing classes for those who interested to learn more like mental health level 1.
All of the above will give individuals a better insight in how to help family members, friends, neighbours who may be suffering with a mental health illness. Also it will help business, doctors, schools, to be more aware of those individuals who may be suffering.
1 in 4 adults & 1 in 10 children aged 5-16 are diagnosed with a mental health illness.
The more mental health is promoted the more individuals won't be afraid of it and those who have been suffering in silent due to fears of what there family will think can seek the help they need.
