Mental Health & Wellbeing Campaigning began in Perth and Kinross in October 2005 when people who had experience of mental illness recognised a need for awareness raising about serious issues and facts, such as the effect of stigma and that recovery from mental illness was possible. They also wanted to spread the word about the essential role of knowledge and self-help in maintaining mental wellbeing for all of us. From then on local campaigns were organised yearly on the back of Scottish Mental Health Week and World Mental Health Day on 10th October. More recently the acclaimed Scottish Mental Health Arts and Film festival now gives the opportunity for campaigns based on the arts and film media. Visit http://www.mhfestival.com for this years events. This year’s local campaign ‘Perth & Kinross Wellbeing Fair 2015’ is being organised via the Perth & Kinross Mental Health & Wellbeing Strategy - it is marvellous to see such solid and interesting partnerships getting the importance of mental health and wellbeing out there. The Wellbeing Fair provides an opportunity for all of us to feel better by taking part in the events and activities whilst celebrating the people, knowledge and wealth of assets clearly abundant in our communities. We would be delighted to see you there.

MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLBEING FILM FESTIVAL This year, for the first time, we are including a local film festival in the campaign. The festival will raise awareness of mental health issues through popular media, encouraging people to talk about taboo subjects such as suicide, stigma and mental illness. Relevant information will be available for the audience to take away at each of the screenings. There will also be the chance to engage in post film discussions where we hope to learn things we weren’t aware of before and become more understanding of one another’s point of view and experiences. We hope that positive social change will happen as a result of the film festival whilst at the same time you can sit back and enjoy great screenings - each with a powerful story to tell.





You have put together a comprehensive programme of events that appear to cover a wide range of important topics. I look forward to seeing the finished programme and I will certainly seek to dip into it myself
