Bauer Media has launched a mental health survey which has revealed that 90% of the public say they still feel there is a taboo around discussing mental health, and has launched a petition calling on the government to make it a requirement for every workplace or college to have a mental health work aider in the UK – equal to the legal requirement for a physical first-aider.

The survey is part of Bauer Media’s campaign: ‘Where’s Your Head At?’ which surveyed readers and listeners from heat, Grazia, KISS, Empire, Magic and Absolute Radio in collaboration with mental health campaigner Natasha Devon MBE and the Mental Health First Aid (MFHA) England. The results of the survey will be brought to life during Mental Health Awareness Week (14th – 20th of May) with coverage across Bauer’s influential magazine, radio and online brands.

‘Where’s Your Head At?’ has support from Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, and celebrities including: Liam Payne, Jamie Laing, Charlotte Crosby, Megan McKenna and Kem Cetinay who have all spoken openly about their personal struggles with mental health. Bauer is working to drive signatures on a petition at www.wheresyourheadat.org.
