Welcome to the Like Minds website

Like Minds, Like Mine is a public health funded project to reduce the stigma of mental illness and the discrimination that people with experience of mental illness face everyday in the community.

This website provides information and resources on the project, looks at who is involved and how you can contribute to creating a nation that values and includes people with mental illness.

"One of the biggest barriers to recovery is discrimination. That is why stopping discrimination and championing respect, rights and equality for people with mental illness is just as important as providing the best treatments and therapies.”
