Time to Talk 2026


It's that time of year again, it's Time To Talk Day.

If you haven't heard of it before, it's when the UK has the largest mental health conversation of the year. It's organized by Mind and Rethink Mental Illness and it is encourages anyone and everyone to have open and supportive conversations about mental health. 

That conversation could happen anywhere, at home, work, school, clubs, village halls, anywhere. Because mental health isn't something to be ashamed or scared of, it's something that needs more understanding.

If you don't know how to start a conversation or a bit nervous, you don't have to dive in straight away about mental health, build up to it. You can talk about a TV show you have been watching, a film you have seen recently, a sport you like watching, a restaurant you went to and have a great experience. Then when you feel more comfortable, you can move the conversation along to mental health.

You don't have to talk about anything you don't want to or feel uncomfortable talking about until you feel ready.
