One in four of us will be affected by a mental health problem at some point in our lives.
Often the fact that it’s difficult to talk about mental health problems can be one of the hardest parts of having a mental illness. It can lead to the loss of friendships, feeling isolated, not seeking help and slower recovery.
It doesn’t have to be this way. Talking about mental health can strengthen friendships, aid recovery, break down stereotypes and take the taboo out of something that affects us all.
Time to change is a national campaign which aims to end mental health discrimination and encourage people to talk about mental health.
