Surveys on mental health attitudes

Recently was sent this -a survey on attitudes to mental health issues. Some excerpts:

 Since 1994, the proportion of respondents voicing more tolerant opinions on several of these statements has decreased – for example, agreement that ‘We need to adopt a more tolerant attitude towards people with mental illness’ fell from 92% in 1994 to 87% in 2010.

Over two-thirds of respondents said they would be comfortable talking to a friend or family member about their mental health, for example, telling them they had a mental health diagnosis and how it affects them.

An interesting read. RECOVERY has plans to survey its members too- we'll collect some data and tell you how mental health in Leicestershire is looking.
