Guest Post: Are we really creating awareness if we just say 'yes I'm fine'?

 Monday, 21 November 2011
 
Are we really creating awareness if we just say 'yes I'm fine'? I just read a post by a good online friend(one I have been lucky enough to also meet in real life albeit over a year ago), the lovely Clive Edwards.
I was going to just share his blog on my facebook wall but whilst writing a comment to go with it I realised that this is an issue I have more than a few words to say about. It is about an issue I have come across in my personal life, my friends lives and also as an issue in conversation to do with fighting the stigma of mental distress in society and discrimination about mental health issues.
