Changing Minds Campaign roadshow breakfast briefing

Stigma Alert

Campaign Roadshow

Tuesday 25 June 2002

We would like to invite you to a breakfast briefing at St Fagan's and Penarth Suite, Jury's Hotel, Cardiff, 8.00-9.30 a.m. (including a complimentary full Welsh breakfast), to hear about the work of the Changing Minds Campaign, and in particular Stigma Alert.

Stigma Alert is an initiative, funded by Jansse-Cilag, that takes the messages of the Changing Minds Campaign to primary health care teams, in particular general practitioners (GPs), throughout the UK.

Please come along to what should be a fascinating breakfast briefing. We need your help to promote the campaign locally. This will be the only opportunity that Members will have at this year's Annual Meeting to hear more about our important work.

A series of roadshows were held at the end of 2001 in the following cities: Aberdeen, Belfast, Birmingham, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Glasgow, London, Londonderry, Manchester, Newcastle, Sheffield and Swansea. Each roadshow included contributions by a psychiatrist, a GP and a service user. A comprehensive and informative pack of materials was prepared for each contributor, including a specially made CD-ROM and video.

We were also able to send a colourful leaflet, Time Wasters... Does it Ring a Bell?, to all GPs in the UK. This brochure set out the aims and objectives of the Changing Minds Campaign and asked GPs to actively discourage stigma and discrimination among their colleagues and patients. It also addressed the consequences of stigmatising patients with mental health problems in terms of time and resources.

If you are interested in attending, please contact Liz Cowan, Campaign Administrator, on tel: 020 7235 2351 ext. 122 or e-mail: lcowan{at}rcpsych.ac.uk , by Monday 17 June 2002 at the latest.
