Mental Health

Mental health problems can affect anyone at any time - in fact one in four people will suffer from some sort of mental health problem at sometime in their life.  Therefore it very likely that even if we are not suffering ourselves, we will know someone who is suffering from some form of mental illness.  Fortunately there is a lot of help available these days and less stigma attached to the various disorders and conditions affecting mental health.

The Mental Health and Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) covers the rights of people with a mental health condition.  Click here to find out more about the DDA
