How will our members/fans/players/followers benefit from our organisation signing up to the Champion the Change Network?
We know that one in four people will experience a mental health issue each year, yet the stigma surrounding mental health still exists and can be devastating. Many people are afraid of being judged or discriminated against because of opening up about their mental health, which can significantly delay a person seeking help.
By signing up to the Champion the Change Network, your organisation will show to your members/fans/players/followers that your organisations
- Wants to have an open culture about mental health
- Cares about their emotional health
- Considers their emotional health a priority
- Wants to be a safe space, free from mental health stigma and discrimination.
By signing up to the Champion the Change Network, you will also be provided with information for your members/fans/players/followers on how and where to access support, such as local services (e.g. counselling and peer support groups) and national services.
