The SEE US campaign uses the personal stories provided by three people with lived experience of MH&A issues. These are taonga. They can be used by all Equally Well partners to amplify both the campaign and their own messages.

Informed by the concerns of tāngata whaiora and health professionals, the SEE US campaign hopes to raise awareness of and address diagnostic overshadowing for people with mental health and addiction issues.

Today we are excited to be launching our new partner-activation campaign - SEE US! Thank you to @EmberKT for hosting this launch. If you are joining us today we would love to see your photos from the launch!

Our friends in New Zealand @EquallyW have already achieved this important step.
Will the UK government do the same?
