Mary Scanlon has been raising awareness this week by signing a see me wall of support and pledging her commitment to deliver a real impact on reducing the stigma and changing public attitudes associated with mental ill-health in Scotland.
National statistics show that one in four people in Scotland will experience a period of mental ill-health.
This means an estimated 107,000 adults in the Highlands and Islands region could experience a mental health problem at some point in their lives.
Many more will know and support or care for someone close to them.
Ms Scanlon said: "The work of see me in tackling the stigma and discrimination of mental ill-health has reached out to people across Scotland and contributed significantly to a positive shift in public attitudes.
However, there is still work to do and we will continue to take action to break down stigma and allow people to seek the help and support they need.
"By signing the see me Wall of Support I have pledged my commitment to improving the mental health and well-being of people in Moray and across the Highlands and Islands."
A recent event at the Scottish Parliament saw almost 70% of MSPs pledge their support for the see me campaign.
Campaign Director Suzie Vestri said: "While people are increasingly open about their mental health, stigma and discrimination still exists and we have much to achieve in reaching the see me vision for a Scotland, where all people with mental health problems are fully equal and included."
