“REAL progress” has been achieved in tackling stigma around mental health in the last two decades, but more remains to be done, according to new research.
A poll by See Me and Censuswide found there been a 60 percentage-point increase in the proportion of people who say they would have the confidence to start a conversation with someone about their mental health, up from 24% 20 years ago to 84% today.
Almost eight in 10 (79%) of those questioned agreed they would have the confidence to talk about their own mental health today, up from just over two in 10 (23%) 20 years ago.
