Time To Talk Day 2019 is about bringing together the right ingredients to have a conversation about mental health. Here's everything you need to take part.
Time to Change
Time to Change is a campaign run by charities Mind and Rethink Mental Illness. It aims to improve public attitudes and behaviour towards people with mental health problems and reduce the amount of discrimination that people with mental health problems report in their personal relationships, social lives and at work.

Whether you have a minute, an hour or longer, there's always something you can do to challenge stigma about mental health. This guide is full of quick and easy examples.
Sometimes we say we’re fine when we’re not. If your colleague is acting differently, ask twice. The simple act of asking again, with interest, can help someone to open up for the first time.
Print out these conversation postcards and give them to a colleague to let them know that you're there for a chat if they need it - because small things can make a big difference.
The Time to Change Employer Pledge is a great way to show that you are committed to changing attitudes to mental health in the workplace.
Time to Change is the campaign working to end mental health discrimination. Part of the campaign focuses on discrimination and stigma in the workplace, and supporting employers to create a positive working environment.
