There is Time to Talk

February 4th 2021 plays host to the world Time to Talk day. Today we make the time to focus on encouraging us all to talk to one and other, challenging the perceptions of mental health and reaching out to our families, friends and colleagues...because it is ok to talk.

A small conversation has the power to make a huge difference. The more conversations we have, the more myths we can bust and barriers to we can break down, helping to end the stigma surrounding mental health.

You're not in it alone, there is a wide amount of resource available to support conversations taking place and tools to help educate and inform on topics surrounding mental health. We have pulled together some of the resources available and would encourage everybody to take a look, get familiar and reach out to someone...even if it's just one person, today its Time to Talk.
