Developing a mental health anti-stigma campaign for the Falkland Islands

The survey will remain open until 16 June 2024

About the survey:

Do you have current or past experience of a mental health challenge? If so, the KEMH Public Health Unit are asking for your views to help guide the development of a new mental health anti-stigma campaign for the Falkland Islands. The anti-stigma campaign is part of a project running across several UKOT’s, which aims to reduce stigma towards and to improve the physical and mental wellbeing of people who have experience of mental health challenges. It is really important that the development of the campaign is guided by the people directly affected, so that we can make the biggest impact possible in areas that are important to you.

The project is funded and supported by FIG and the UK Government Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID). The project is being run by a research team composed of the KEMH Public Health Unit; Karen Rimicans, a founding member of Team Tranquil and an experienced mental health nurse practitioner with experience in mental health research; and Implemental, a UK-based social enterprise organisation.

We want to hear about your experiences of other people’s attitudes towards you, and how you think these could be addressed. To take part, we would appreciate it if you could complete this short questionnaire – it should only take about 15 minutes.

Taking part in the survey is voluntary and you do not have to answer particular questions if you do not want to. Your responses will be completely anonymous – none of your responses or the information you provide can be connected back to you. Only the summary results will be reported and no person will be identifiable in any of the findings. FIG will store the anonymous survey responses in line with the FIG Data Protection Policy, and the data will only be shared with the research team mentioned above.
