Get comfortable and start talking about mental health
Time to Talk Day 2025 takes place on Thursday, February 6, marking a crucial moment to break the silence surrounding mental health. This year’s theme, "Get Comfortable and Start Talking About Mental Health," encourages open and honest discussions, helping to create supportive environments where people feel safe to share their thoughts and experiences. Organised by Mind and Rethink Mental Illness, in partnership with Co-op, this initiative is also supported by See Me in Scotland, Inspire in Northern Ireland, and Time to Change Wales.
Why talking about mental health matters?
Mental health issues affect millions worldwide, yet stigma often prevents individuals from seeking support. Research shows that regular conversations about mental health can reduce misconceptions, provide emotional relief, and encourage those struggling to seek help. Whether chatting with a friend or a colleague or having an open discussion at home, talking about mental health can lead to positive change.
How to get comfortable and start talking
This year’s campaign focuses on making discussions about mental health more natural and comfortable. Here are some ways to start the conversation:
