McMillan Adds His Support to See Me Campaign

Stuart McMillan MSP (SNP) has today (Wednesday) added his support to the See Me campaign which aims to tackle the stigma shown by family and friends to people suffering from mental ill-health.

New research has revealed that 47% of people battling a mental health problem cite family and friends as the main source of stigma.

Mr McMillan said;

"I welcome this new campaign which aims to tackle the stigma surrounding mental health problems that, unfortunately, many people throughout the country suffer.

"It's important that people understand that a person's mental ill-health is only a small part of who they are.

"Therefore, the support shown by family and friends can be one of the most important factors in helping people to recover.

"I hope many more people will show their support for the See Me campaign and upload their pictures and messages of support."
