On the 'Mind' facebook page, I stumbled across this. Channel 4 are to broadcast a season of prime time programmes designed to challenge perceptions of mental health and discrimination.
Comedians Ruby Wax and Jon Richardson have also made programmes to accompany the '4 Goes Mad' season, which Channel 4 has developed working closely with mental health charities including the Mental Health Foundation and Time to Change.
As someone who commented has said, challenging stigma is really important, but is this the right way to go about it? I reckon it's worth a watch to see how this pans out.
