The Highland
Users Group (HUG) is a network of users of mental health services
who live in the Highlands.
Our
main aim is to improve the way in
which we, as users of mental health services, are treated by campaigning
to improve the rights, services and treatments of people with mental
health problems.
HUG's work is
broadly divided into three main areas:
-
HUG's
collective advocacy role which supports users of mental health services
to Speak Out to influence policy and planning, and to encourage
improvements in the management and delivery of mental health services.
-
HUG's
work through the Communications Project to actively Challenge
the Stigma surrounding mental illness and raise awareness and
understanding of mental health issues with the wider public (yet
specifically targeting professionals, young people and the media).
- HUG also works
with employers to support ways in which positive practices in work
and the workplace can help the prevention, management and recovery
from mental illness.
