A national campaign to tackle mental health stigma and discrimination is encouraging people to join and organise events which get people active.
Time to Get Moving is a week of activity events from 9 to 17 October 2010. People organising local events will have support from a dedicated event line, free marketing materials and access to an online toolkit.
Time to Get Moving is part of the national Time to Change mental health campaign. Both social contact and physical activity have been shown to improve mental well being, and getting people with or without mental health problems together can help to tackle the stigma around mental health problems.
