Chasing the Stigma

Chasing the Stigma is a national mental health charity on a mission to normalise and humanise conversations about mental health, while ensuring that everyone in the UK can access clear pathways to support, whenever and wherever they need it.

We want to create a society where there is no longer a stigma associated with mental health, where people are as comfortable talking about their mental health as their physical health, and where everyone is able to find appropriate support before they reach a point of crisis, leading to a significant long-term reduction in self-harm and suicide.

We aim to achieve this through our pioneering Ambassador of Hope training services, awareness-raising campaigns and lobbying activities and the provision of the UK’s largest and most comprehensive directory of community mental health services, the Hub of Hope.

This year, we are asking people to #ChallengeTheStigma and take up running to raise awareness of mental health stigma. Would you like to participate in a running event on our behalf? Click the 'Take Part For Us' button for more information.
