We launch Tuesday 12th January at 9am, after that... UNLEASH THE SELFIES! Let's get this viral and spread the word! selfie+post-it+donation+share = #itaffectsme #itaffectsme is simply the statement that we have all known or will know mental illness in our lives, whether through ourselves, families, friends or a stranger in the street. The selfie is to put a face to it, to stop embarrassment and to show the universality of these illnesses. Mental illness has no prejudices about who it affects so we should have no prejudices about it. Take a selfie, donate, share it and let's get people talking! http://www.mind.org.uk/get-involved/giving-to-mind/donate/ @itaffectsme www.itaffectsme.co.uk

Laura Darrall on the news with Alistair Stewart and Lucrezia Millarini

As most of you know I have been doing a lot of talking recently, for a very good reason. I started #itaffectsme just three weeks ago and already we have reached over 3.5 million people and raised around £2,000 for Mind. So, I wanted to say thank you. Thank you for sharing, thank you for donating and thank you for sticking a post-it on your head! We have started a conversation and that conversation will not stop until mental health is treated equally to physical health, until it is properly funded and on the National Curriculum. So, thank you. Keep talking.
