The 'see me' campaign was launched in October 2002 to challenge stigma and discrimination around mental ill-health in Scotland. The campaign is run by an alliance of five Scottish mental health organisations: Highland Users Group (HUG) (Opens in new window); National Schizophrenia Fellowship (Scotland) (Opens in new window); Penumbra (Opens in new window); the Royal College of Psychiatrists (Scottish Division) (Opens in new window) and the Scottish Association for Mental Health.

The campaign combines an award-winning national publicity programme with local and national anti-stigma action developed in partnership with like-minded groups and individuals across all sectors of Scottish life. Individuals who have experienced stigma are involved in many aspects of the campaign, and includes those prepared to talk to the media about the impact stigma has had on their lives.
