This year, more than ever, people are struggling with their mental health.
Time to Talk Day 2021 | Time To Change (time-to-change.org.uk) aims to make people aware that a small conversation about mental health has the power to make a big difference. It can help to break down feelings of isolation and worthlessness.
No-one should be ashamed to talk about how they are feeling.
To start the conversation, four brave councillors at Dudley Council have shared their mental health experiences and tips that they have learned along the way.
Let’s get talking about mental health.
Checking in on family, friends and colleagues during the coronavirus outbreak is more important than ever. Advice is available on how to do this at the time to change website www.time-to-change.org.uk
