> At Mental Health Media we are looking for a web designer with excellent

>
> MENTAL HEALTH MEDIA ANTI-DISCRIMINATION TOOLKIT
>
> "Mental Health ... is shaping up to be the last great struggle for civil
> rights."
> (The Guardian, 23 October 2002)
>
> Countering the discrimination and stigma so many of us face every day
> calls for concerted and sustained action - from shifting the ways people
> think about and treat those who experience mental distress, to
> campaigning for legal and policy changes.
>
> That's no small challenge. And it can be hard to work out how to start
> and where best to put your efforts and energy.
>
> That's where Mental Health Media's new project comes in. Our
> Anti-discrimination Toolkit will help mental health service users and
> survivors to:
>
> * take effective action - create successful local
> anti-discrimination initiatives and campaigns that will really get
> your message across
> * work with others - get in touch and team up with people who share
> their goals
> * build on and sustain their work in the future
>
> As a key part of the whole Toolkit, we are developing a website over the
> next few months which will showcase local intiatives in action, include
> a database of groups working in this area, will have a forum for users,
> survivors and user groups to input their own work and experiences into
> the site.
>
> The kind of person we are looking for:
>
> * Will have a portfolio of sites (just a few will do) that gives us
> a sense of his/her design skills
> * Will have some mark-up skills
> * Might have some Flash experience
> * Has a feel for what we are trying to achieve and empathy with our
> target audience
> * Might have experience or awareness of mental distress and the
> surrounding issues
> * Might have an interest in anti-discrimination work
>
> If you think you might be the person we are looking for, or know someone
> who is, get in touch.
