UNITED Utilities are supporting the This is Me campaign.

The campaign aims to challenge the stigma around mental health at work and break the culture of silence.

Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham launched This is Me in Manchester on Monday. He described good mental health as 'fundamental' and an 'essential and precious resource'.

Natasha Wild, aged 26 from Wigan, works at United Utilities and has taken on the extra role of mental health first aider.

She said: "Sometimes people just walk up to my desk and tap me on the back and say ‘can I have a word?’. I find it really rewarding."
