| The Mental Health Media Awards are a key tool in challenging the negative portrayal of people with mental health conditions in Great Britain. Unfortunately, far too much media coverage of mental health reinforces ill conceived stereotypes. The winners of these awards are challenging these stereotypes and are contributing a world where people with mental health conditions can play a full, positive role in society. | |
