DEPUTY Prime Minister Nick Clegg is calling on people to nominate unsung mental health heroes in Bradford as part of his campaign to raise awareness of mental health problems.
One in four people will experience a mental health problem this year but for many the stigma and discrimination that surrounds mental health will make it harder for them to speak out and seek the support they need.
Nominations for Mental Health Heroes can range from healthcare professionals to next door neighbours - who have gone above and beyond to help, support or inspire people with mental health conditions.
Mr Clegg (pictured) said yesterday: "It is my ambition to bring mental health out of the shadows and create a fairer society where people can speak up about how they feel and get the support and treatment they need to live the life that they choose.”
To nominate someone, go to gov.uk/DPM and follow the links to the nomination form. Nominations have to be submitted by January 27.
