About Stigma Free Lanarkshire

Stigma Free Lanarkshire is dedicated to challenging and eradicating the prejudice and discrimination that too often surround mental health.

Our work aligns with Lanarkshire’s Mental Health and Wellbeing Strategy 2019–2024, which commits to breaking down these barriers and ensuring mental health is valued just as highly as physical health.

We believe that confronting stigma is a vital step toward building a community where good mental health can thrive—in schools, workplaces, healthcare, social services, and everyday life. Together, we aim to foster an environment that supports prevention, encourages recovery, and empowers people to live meaningful lives on their own terms.
