Speciically, the campaign will work to:
International Network
ONE OF US is part of The Global Anti-Stigma Alliance
(GASA), which is an international network of different
national campaigns against stigma. The aim of the network
is for the members to share knowledge, evidence, materials
and best practices.
ONE OF US
At least half a million Danes suffer from mental illness right
now. For most people it is temporary and they get well
again. For others, the course is more drawn out or the ill-
ness is recurring. No matter what, they are one of us.
Many of us don’t know enough about mental illness and
many prejudices lourish about people with mental illness.
It could happen to anyone that they, more or less delib-
erately, exclude people who suffer from or have suffered
from mental illness. Knowledge and good advice about
how to meet people with mental illness will improve this.
That is exactly what the campaign ONE OF US is launched
to do.
• increase the Danes’ knowledge about mental illness
• reduce the distance, which leads to stigmatisation,
prejudices and social exclusion
• create a better understanding of mental illness in
schools, in the workplace and everywhere else where
lives are led.
The campaign ONE OF US
The nation-wide campaign ONE OF US was oficially
launched on September 19th 2011 and continues to
2020. The effort is launched with a national campaign
including targeted regional and local activities.
The campaign focuses on ive main themes, where the
target groups are service users and relatives, young
people (especially students), the workplace, staff in
health and social services, the media and the general
population.
The partners behind it
Behind the campaign is a strong network, which was
formed in 2010 by the parties: The Danish Health
Authority, TrygFonden, The Danish Mental Health Network,
Danish Regions, the ive regions, The Danish Mental
Health Fund, The National Board of Social Services, KL,
and The Danish Committee for Health Education.
Furthermore, a resource group has been formed for each
of the ive main themes, consisting of representatives
from groups of service users and relatives, professional
societies, professionals and the regional psychiatric infor-
mation centres.
The campaign is managed nationally by the ONE OF US-
secretariat, which is located in Copenhagen. To ensure
local support, regional coordination groups have also been
formed.

What does stigmatisation mean?
Stigma means a “negative characteristic”, which is
attached to a person as a “social mark”. When we mark
each other because of mental illness it has several se-
vere consequences. The pain of not being part of society
makes you more vulnerable. It makes it extra hard to be
ill and can block for a meaningful life and e.g. the job
market. It can also prevent people from getting treat-
ment in time. And that is costly; for the individual and for
society.
Become a volunteer
An important part of the campaign is the involvement
of volunteers who suffer from or have suffered from a
mental illness, are relatives, are active in organisations
for service users or relatives, are managers, colleagues,
students, politicians or something else, it doesn’t matter.
Because we need every possible resource to
be successful with the
ONE OF US campaign.
The purpose of ONE OF US
T
he purpose of ONE OF US is to de-stigmatise mental
illness in Denmark; So, no more discrimination and elimi-
nation of people who suffer from or have suffered from
mental illness. In the campaign, we express it like this:
No more silence, doubt and taboo about mental illness.
