‘see me’ is Scotland’s national campaign to end the stigma and discrimination of mental ill-health.
‘see me’ is an alliance of five Scottish mental health organisations:
National Schizophrenia Fellowship Scotland (NSF)
Royal College of Psychiatrists – Scottish Division
Scottish Association for Mental Health (SAMH)
Click on any of the logos above to go straight to their websites. Each alliance member organisation sends one named person along to be a member of ‘see me’s Management Group. This meets quarterly to set the strategic direction for the campaign, to agree plans and budgets, sign off new creative materials and projects and to receive reports on work and finances. In between meetings, Management Group members are in regular contact with the campaign by phone and email.
The campaign has 8 staff members who are based in the campaign’s offices in Leith. Campaign staff run the campaign day-to-day and meet regularly with local champions and campaign contacts across the whole of Scotland. Campaign staff also speak at conferences and meetings throughout the world, distribute materials, recruit and train media volunteers, encourage and support local campaign activities, run the websites, deal with press and public enquiries and develop new campaigning ideas.
The campaign is fully funded by the Scottish Government as part of its commitment to improving mental health and well-being. The campaign’s budgets and organisational plans are agreed by the Scottish Government and a representative of the Government also attends ‘see me’ Management Group meetings as an observer.
