Comic Relief- help with a common problem
One in four of us suffer mental health issues each year. Good thing Comic Relief is helping out.
The money Comic Relief raises goes to projects both in the UK and Africa, and one of the issues they tackle in the UK is mental health.
People dealing with mental health issues find they still attract stigma. So the funds you help raise for Red Nose Day are channelled into a range of projects designed to provide practical help, support and therapy for people in difficulties – and to confront prejudice head-on.
Comic Relief aims to reduce the stigma and discrimination to ensure that people with mental health problems have a say in the decisions that affect their lives, so that they can have a healthy recovery.
