When Alastair Campbell came to our Annual Member's Day in September, we didn't really know what he was going to speak about. Himself? More than likely. Tony Blair? Possibly. His experrience of mental health? You bet!
But his key message was clear and straightforward: "We all have mental health like we all have physical health. Respect both, good and bad." (from a post on @campbellclaret)
Will the battle for equality be in the workplace? It could well be. If mental health it the last big taboo, then it will be in policy/legislation etc. where the boundaries are set. Public opinion should then follow, but it will take time...time to change'.
