A ROADSHOW to raise awareness of world mental health day is touring Darlington this week.

The aim is to increase understanding of mental health problems, and reduce the discrimination and stigma often attached to sufferers.

Helen Seymour, of Darlington Primary Care Group, said: "There is still a stigma attached to mental health issues that needs addressing."

The roadshow will be at the Dolphin Centre today, from 10am to 3pm, at Asda on Tuesday, at the Arts Centre on Wednesday, the central library on Thursday and Queen Elizabeth Sixth Form College on Friday, from 1.30pm.
