Rethink Schizophrenia is coming soon!
Rethink Mental Illness campaign, Rethink Schizophrenia, will launch on 18 September, to improve people’s understanding of what schizophrenia is and what it means to live with the illness.
Rethink Schizophrenia is a refreshed version of Schizophrenia Awareness Week, which they run annually since 2013. When it comes to schizophrenia, understanding is nowhere near what it should be. This year they’re aiming to reach people with little or no knowledge of schizophrenia to raise more and better awareness.

Stonewall launches School Report 2017
Ten years ago, Stonewall launched the first School Report, a ground-breaking study into the experiences of 1,100 lesbian, gay and bi pupils in Britain’s schools. Published four years after the repeal of Section 28, it revealed a startling picture: two in three lesbian, gay and bi pupils had been bullied at school because of their sexual orientation, and just one in four schools said this bullying was wrong.
Will you join the 100,000?
Over 100,000 people have pledged to end mental health stigma with Time to Change. Will you join them?
