Time to Change (http://www.time-to-change.org.uk/) purely by accident, however it has given me an idea. Now i just hope its not one of my impulses, if so I need to try and follow my idea through. If you don't know what the Time to Change (http://www.time-to-change.org.uk/) campaign is about then have a look at the website, click on my link, basically it is about raising awareness about mental health issues, also giving advice etc on how to help people with Mental Health Problems.

On the website you can order all sorts of things from, posters, bookmarks, postcards, coasters etc etc (all for free)....which I have ordered. Now my idea once they come, which should be less than 10 days, is to distribute some of these items, to my local library, Dr's Surgery, Cafes, Book Shop etc.....I am scared, as I don't like to go out due to anxiety and paranoia BUT this is something I feel strongly about....raising awareness about Mental Health Issues.....WE ARE NOT CRAZY, PSYCHO, FREAKS....but normal people with an illness which holds a great deal of prejudice and discrimination....and my worry is,, looking at my family history, especially my mothers side of the family, there is a great deal of Mental Health Issues (and guess what...NO ONE ever ever ever discusses it!!!) and I am concerned that maybe (hopefully not) it is something my daughter may suffer from in the future....so I am joining this campaign and raising awareness of it within my local area not just for me, but for my daughters future and everyone else that suffers from Mental Health related issues in one way or another.

Take a look at the website, maybe order some literature yourself and join this campaign, distribute information, send a postcard to your family about it. For EVERY person that passes on 10 leaflets that's another 10 more people possibly educated on this matter!!!
