West Sussex County Council has made a commitment to end the stigma and discrimination that people with mental health problems can experience.

The County Council has joined other organisations which have signed a pledge with “Time to Change” – a programme run by the charities Mind, and Rethink Mental Illness.

West Sussex County Council has commented that they want everyone who works there to feel they can be open about their mental health and to ask for, and get support if they need it.
