Activity 7 - Leave the RoomThe aimTo get the children to carry out a social experiment. The children understand how it feels to be left out or excluded; this can then be linked to the feelings that people who are stigmatised feel because of their mental ill-health or learning disability.


How to do itAsk for a volunteer or a group of volunteers who will leave the room. Meanwhile, talk with the remaining children about how that person may be feeling to be left out of the discussion – what feelings might this invoke, what could they be thinking? After some discussion, ask the volunteer to re-join the group. Ask the volunteer how they felt to be excluded from the group. Link the feelings discussed with the way people experiencing stigma or discrimination may feel.

Activity 8 – DramaThe aimTo get the children to work together to develop a short play about stigma – to educate others on how it feels to be discriminated against.


How to do itSplit the group into smaller groups. Ask the children in each group to develop a short play to show why stigma and discrimination because of mental ill-health or a learning disability is bad. One person could play someone being stigmatised, another could play someone using discriminatory words and another could be a friend or teacher saying why it is wrong.

Extension to this activityEncourage the children to show their short plays to a school assembly – to show others what they have learned and why stigma is bad.

I pledge to stop using the following words that can hurt, offend and stigmatise people suffering from mental health problems and learning disabilites.Stamp Out Stigma by crossing out the words

Mental health problems affect 1 in 4 people from

all walks of life, all races and all ages.Those coping with mental health problems and learning

disabilities not only have to deal with their condition but

face prejudice on a daily basis. Together we can change the way we see, think and

talk about mental health by addressing people’s fears,

breaking down walls and stamping out the stigma. 100,000 PledgesWe’re aiming to collect 100,000 pledges to stamp out

stigma. By making your pledge you are sending a clear

message to society that we should not hurt people with

mental illness and learning disabilities by calling them

names that are offensive. You can make your pledge by

signing and returning this freepost form, or by visiting

www.stampoutstigma.co.uk where you can find also

out more about mental illness and learning disabilities,

together with our ‘Sticks & Stones’ campaign. Thank

you for your support - please ask your family and

friends to do the same and help us reach our target

of 100,000 pledges to stamp out stigma.

for a better view of mental healthand learning disabilities...
