The media have an important role to play in shaping people’s attitudes to mental health and hearing people with lived experience tell their own stories can be an effective way to challenge negative stereotypes. That’s why we’ve started to recruit and train people who’ve experienced mental ill health to act as media spokespeople.

If you’d be willing to share your experience to help Gofal raise awareness of key issues in the media, we can provide you with all the training and support you need.
