The difference we make
What we do
Chasing the Stigma is a national mental health charity on a mission to normalise and humanise conversations about mental health, while ensuring that everyone in the UK can access clear pathways to support, whenever and wherever they need it.
We want to create a society where there is no longer a stigma associated with mental health, where people are as comfortable talking about their mental health as their physical health, and where everyone is able to find appropriate support before they reach a point of crisis, leading to a significant long-term reduction in self-harm and suicide.
We aim to achieve this through:
Our pioneering Ambassador of Hope mental health training services
Awareness-raising campaigns and lobbying activities
The provision of the UK’s largest and most comprehensive directory of community mental health services, the Hub of Hope.
With lived experience
at our core
Chasing the Stigma was established by CEO and founder, Jake Mills, following his own battle with depression and suicide attempt in 2013.

We aim to humanise and normalise mental health
By actively challenging the stigma associated with mental illness and removing the barriers that prevent people from seeking help.
Almost three quarters of those who die by suicide each year are not known to mental health services or have not been seen within a year previous to their death. Quite simply, people are dying without accessing the help or support they so desperately need, and we want to change this.
Our vision is to make help as easy as possible to find while creating true environments of understanding across the UK, revolutionising the UK’s approach to Mental Health.
