SEE US campaign to address diagnostic overshadowing

[Equally Well @EquallyW]

SEE US campaign official launching now

[Equally Well @EquallyW]

The SEE US campaign uses the personal stories provided by three people with lived experience of MH&A issues. These are taonga. They can be used by all Equally Well partners to amplify both the campaign and their own messages.

Informed by the concerns of tāngata whaiora and health professionals, the SEE US campaign hopes to raise awareness of and address diagnostic overshadowing for people with mental health and addiction issues.

[Equally Well UK @EquallyWellUK]

We have written to @SteveBarclay, urging the government to prioritise people with severe mental illness & their carers for #flu #vaccination

Our friends in New Zealand @EquallyW have already achieved this important step.

Will the UK government do the same?

The findings of the Australian #NSMHW are out 👉https://t.co/6JikJzqoAx

This study will help us reinforce the value of this mahi. It will also highlight importance and value of population prevalence data for New Zealand, particularly from a Te Tiriti and an equity perspective.

🌱 Have you wondered why we use the phrase "self-stigma"?
🌱 Want to know what you can do to reduce self-stigma, discrimination and prejudice when you come across it?

We have a helpful guide for reducing prejudice, discrimination and self-stigma 👇

A little bit of good news - wonderful to see access to flu vaccines is getting easier for tangata whaiora. Thank you @EquallyW and all involved! 🧡

We’re so happy to see this change come into action. Thank you to the Pharmaceutical Society of NZ and members of the @EquallyW collaboration who advocated for this widened eligibility criteria.
