Could you speak out for 'see me'? 'see me' is Scotland's national campaign to end the stigma and discrimination related to mental ill-health. They have a pool of volunteers who speak out about their experience of stigma and discrimination, as well as experiences of positive support and recovery.

They are currently looking for pairs of volunteers to help promote their new campaign in September.

'see me' would like to hear from you if you have experienced mental ill-health and have a story to tell about the importance of support from friends and family. They would also like to hear from someone who has provided support when it was needed - whether as a family member or a friend.

You will both receive training to prepare you for being interviewed by the media, as well as ongoing support before, during and after all media work.

For an informal chat about whether this opportunity may be right for you, please contact 'see me' on 0131 624 8945 or email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
