Open Up is very proud and pleased to announce their Open Up Initiatives for 2009-2010.

Open Up is one of the Time to Change projects, and the Initiatives Scheme is Open Up’s programme of financial and practical support and encouragement, for people with experience of mental distress who want to set up their own anti-di...scrimination projects. We work with 16 Initiatives over a period of one year, to help them to get their projects up and running.

This summer we received over 90 applications for the Open Up Initiatives scheme. All were of a very high standard, which made the decision process slightly difficult - but after a lengthy discussion our excellent panel came up with 16 great projects - and we are very much looking forward to working with them all over the coming year.

To find out more about our 2009-10 Initiatives, visit the website: http://www.open-up.org.uk/initiatives/2009-10. And keep checking back for their profiles and blogs which will be coming soon.

A big THANK YOU to everyone who went along to a Get Moving event, came and found us on the roadshow, or ran a campaign over the last couple of months.

It was a truly inspiring time, with tens of thousands of people getting together to raise the profile of mental health and challenge stigma.

If you have any feedback, pho...tos, videos or press cuttings from an event you took part in, please send it into the facebook page, and let us know your thoughts.

The campaign continues!

Mind you there are groups like the Irish Advocasy Network , and many more who are trying to break down the barriers , it just takes that bit longer here , i have watched the events that you have been putting on and was particularly impressed with the Roadshow , hence the comment if only in ireland . Today it was reported that the suiside rate is up... Read More by 43% in the first 3 months but our goverment wants to cut back on funding for Suicide prevention Sceems . 10 times more money is spent on road saftey messures than on Suicide Prevention !! and Ireland has the 4th highest suicide rate among young people in the EU Overall ANY form of funding for Mental Health projects is on the decline but we fight on and do what we can do , One day we Shall Overcome .
