Time to Talk Day, on Thursday, February 2, is organised by Time to Change, the campaign to change how we all think and act about mental health problems, led by charities Mind and Rethink Mental Illness.
Time to Talk Day aims to get as many people as possible across England talking about mental health. Since its launch in 2014, it has sparked millions of conversations in schools, homes, workplaces, in the media and online, and attracted support from celebrities such as Freddie Flintoff and Stephen Fry.

Hide AdSharon Rhodes, local Time To Change champion coordinator, said: “Hastings is taking part in Time to Talk Day because mental health is a topic that we should all feel able to talk about. Having these all important conversations can make a big difference to many people. The more we talk, the more lives we can change.”
