Time to Talk Day: Promoting Mental Health Conversations
Time to Talk Day was launched in 2014 by the campaign Time to Change, which is dedicated to ending mental health stigma and discrimination.
The campaign emphasises the importance of discussing mental health with family, friends, and colleagues. The aim is to create a more comfortable and understanding environment regarding mental health issues.
Time to Talk Day raises awareness of need to start conversations about mental health. This includes talking about mental health in the workplace.
Employers have a duty to take steps to prevent work related stress and support good mental health
There are a number of resources available to workers and employers to help improve mental health at work.
The Health and Safety Executive’s (HSE) Working Minds campaign offers various resources to help employers to manage work-related stress and promote mental well-being.
