STIGMA SURVEY RESULTS
SURREY 2024
In this survey we set out to hear from people with experience of mental health problems (either direct or indirect experience e.g. as a carer, family member, friend), and about any stigma or discrimination they may have faced. The survey was last conducted in November 2021 (the report of which can be found further down on this page) and some comparisons between the findings of the two surveys are made throughout this report.
The survey results will be used to help to target the End Stigma Surrey programme to where it is most needed and can help inform the anti-stigma and discrimination work of other Surrey organisations and services.
This survey explored the extent, nature, impacts of and ways to reduce mental health related stigma and discrimination in Surrey. The results Prepared by Surrey County Council, are published here.
