Between 23 and 25 February 2026, Touchstone, working on behalf of the Anti-Stigma Partnership in Leeds, is running a series of workshops to help shape the future identity of Anti Stigma Leeds.
These sessions will inform a relaunch and rebrand of the city-wide mental health anti-stigma campaign, due to launch in May 2026 for Mental Health Awareness Week.
The workshops will explore what stigma means to people in Leeds, how it affects individuals and communities, and how we can work towards the ambition of being a Mentally Healthy City for all.

There are five workshops taking place:
For community members – 23 and 25 of February
-

The session for community and mental health organisation representatives will take place on 24 February in Leeds city centre.
Who can take part?
Community organisation sessions are open to anyone working within a local community or mental health organisation. You do not need to be an expert in stigma. An interest in open, respectful conversation is enough.
Participants will take part in a two-hour focus group and can share as much or as little as they feel comfortable with.
Practical details
Individuals attending community workshops will be reimbursed for their time and expenses, and lunch will be provided.
If someone you support would like to attend and needs assistance, you are welcome to accompany them.
Employers and organisational representatives will be provided with refreshments and snacks.
Places are limited and will be offered on a first come, first served basis.
