Time To Talk Day 2022

What is Time To Talk Day?

Mental Health is something we all have in common, so by opening up and talking about it, we can support both ourselves and others. Time To Talk Day is run by a combination of charities and awareness groups – Mind, Rethink Mental Illness and Co-op – and aims to create more conversations about mental health than ever before. It was launched in 2014 and has since been bringing vital campaigns to end stigma and discrimination around our mental health.

Why is it important?

One in four adults will experience problems with their mental health in one year, but there still remains certain barriers as to why we don’t talk openly about our feelings. Opening up conversations about our mental wellbeing is essential in creating supportive communities and reducing the hurdles faced during periods of difficulty.
