Time to Talk Day takes place on 5 February 2025 and is a national campaign led by Mind, Rethink Mental Illness and the Co-op. It’s a powerful reminder that meaningful change can begin with a single conversation. This year, let’s use Time to Talk Day as a catalyst for breaking down stigma, opening up honest discussions about mental health, and showing that small moments — a chat over coffee, a quick text, or a walk with a colleague — can make a real difference. Health@Works will be delivering this mProve in 30 session on 12 February, giving you the opportunity to reflect on any Time to Talk Day initiatives you took part in and, importantly, explore how to keep those conversations going throughout the year rather than just for one day. With one in four people experiencing a mental health challenge each year, it’s understandable that many of us default to saying we’re “fine” instead of how we truly feel. Talking about mental health isn’t always easy, but every conversation has the potential to reduce stigma, encourage people to seek support, and positively impact lives. In this session, delivered by Health@Work’s Wellbeing Consultant Suzanne Wootton, they will explore how Time to Talk Day can act as a powerful starting point for change and how you can build on it to create ongoing, meaningful conversations about mental health in your workplace. This session will cover: • Why Time to Talk Day matters • The benefits of prioritising mental health at work • The importance of conversations Can't attend?
