NWCFL Supports Time to Talk Day

Thursday, 3rd February, is Time to Talk Day. We are supporting this and encouraging all our wonderful fans to have a conversation about mental health. Below is some more information about this awareness day and the work it has done over the years. Make a brew and have a chat, we're all behind you. 

Time to Talk

Time to Talk Day was launched in 2014 by Time to Change, a campaign to end mental health stigma and discrimination, which was run by Mind and Rethink Mental Illness.

Time to Talk Day 2022 is run by Mind and Rethink Mental Illness in England, in partnership with Co-op. The campaign runs UK wide, with SAMH (Scottish Association for Mental Health) and See Me in Scotland, Inspire and Change Your Mind in Northern Ireland and Time to Change Wales.

The day is all about creating supportive communities by having conversations with family, friends, or colleagues about mental health. We all have mental health, by talking about it we can support ourselves and others.

This year they aim to support communities up and down the country to have more mental health conversations than ever before.

We know that conversations about mental health have the power to change lives. Recent research shows how important open conversations in communities are to support everyone’s mental wellbeing.

Co-op are raising £8m for Mind, SAMH and Inspire to bring communities together to improve mental wellbeing. Along with delivering Time to Talk Day 2022, these vital funds are providing new services in over 50 local communities across the UK to support people’s mental wellbeing.
