February is Mental Health Awareness month once again, and this week our UK Wellbeing Strategy Group has launched ‘Time to Talk Week’ (3rd – 7th February), which coincides with the charity Mind’s annual Time to Talk Day on Thursday 6th February.
Throughout the week we have been encouraging you to take time out and spend some time talking to each other about our mental health. It’s a chance for us to come together to talk, listen and change lives. The more conversations we have, the better life is for everyone.
Talking about mental health isn’t always easy and sometimes it’s even harder to say how you really feel. But a conversation has the power to change lives. Time to Talk Week is the perfect opportunity to start a conversation about our mental health – but not just next week – keep those conversations going beyond next week.
We have provided a range of resources to support you during this campaign which you can access HERE (or scan the QR code in the image).
Please make time to display these on all work place notice boards, wellbeing boards, break areas.
