Time to Talk Day 2020 in Bristol
January 30, 2020 at 6:10 pm
Time To Talk Day is an annual national event, lead by Time to Change. Time to Change is a national campaign against mental health stigma, and Time to Talk Day is all about making time to talk about mental health.
Mental health problems affect one in four of us, yet people are still afraid to talk about it – talking about mental health problems and sharing real life stories helps to change the way we all think and act about mental health problems.
This year, Time to Talk Day takes place on Thursday 6th February.
In Bristol, there’s a lot going on! Check out this guide, compiled by the Bristol Time to Change Hub, detailing what’s happening. From pub quizzes to coffee mornings, bowling competitions to poetry nights, there’s bound to be something going on near you.
If you’re posting to social media, we’ll be using two hashtags; #TimeToTalk and #TTCBristol.
