Why talking matters
 

Time to talk day is designed to spark conversations about mental health nationally. Every year Mind and Rethink Mental Illness run Time to talk day to promote mental health awareness. It is a day aimed at reducing mental health stigma by encouraging open dialogues throughout all walks of life, including our schools, workplaces, communities, and homes.

Through talking about our mental health experiences and difficulties, we can raise greater awareness and understanding of mental health. It also helps to remove the stigma in our society and can help improve the mental wellbeing of those around us and ourselves.  

For more information on the campaign and the resources, see Mind’s website.
