Today, Thursday the 7th of February, is Time to Talk Day 2019. On this day colleagues are encouraged to have discussions about mental health, in whatever form this might take. Whether it’s over a cup of tea, or in a group setting, the aim is simply to find a time in your day to broach the topic of mental health. With 1 in 4 of us affected by mental health problems, it is important to find means of supporting one another. Providing opportunities for these conversations challenges the culture of stigmatisation, encourages openness, aids in recovery and enhances relationships. Run by the charities Mind and Rethink Mental Illness, the Time to Talk campaign offers free resources to help facilitate these conversations. Find them here:
