Talking about mental health isn’t always easy, but a conversation has the power to change and save lives. #TimeToTalk Day is on Thursday 2 February 2023.
Make time to talk – and make a difference. Get some ideas here 👉 timetotalkday.co.uk
ALT A rectangular multicolored graphic on a red, turquoise, yellow and purple background promoting Time To Talk Day. On the left hand-side is a huge-two-dimensional illustrated speech bubble and in it it says “I’ve been feeling… can we talk?” At the bottom left it says #TimeToTalk. On the right hand side it says Time To Talk Day in white print on a purple background and the date 02/02/23 in white print on a red background. Beneath that is the Mind squiggle logo and Rethink Mental Illness. In the centre, in big white type against the turquoise background it says: “Make space in your day for a conversation about mental health”. In smaller type underneath it says, Talk, Listen, Change Lives. And at the bottom it says In Partnership with Co-op.
Shoutout to all peer support workers around the world and happy #GlobalPeerSupportCelebrationDay!🤩
