Time to Talk Day 2016
February 1, 2016 at 5:30 pm
Bristol folk are being encouraged to have conversations about mental health this Thursday 4th February, as part of Time to Change’s ‘Time to Talk Day‘.
The national campaign aims to challenge misconceptions by getting as many people as possible talking about mental health, sharing their stories and offering support to others.
Lots of events are taking place across the city on 4th February as part of #BrizzleBuzz – the hashtag Bristol has adopted for the campaign – so come along and join in, or why not plan an event of your own? There are lots of free resources available on the Time to Change website.
