Time To Talk Day - Mental Health

Time to Talk Day is a day focused on talking about mental health.

This could be in your office, with your family or even reaching out to a stranger.

Mental health problems affect one in four of us. Yet, too many people feel isolated, ashamed and worthless because of this. Time to Talk Day encourages everyone to be more open about mental health – to talk, to listen, to change lives.

Mental health issues can range from anxiety to OCD, from self-harm to stress and so much more.
