In collaboration with Healthy Minds, we’ve created a new pack of resources for Time to Talk Day, with advice on how to listen to and support someone who may be struggling with their mental health.
Time to Talk Day is the nation’s biggest mental health conversation. Happening every year, it’s a day for friends, families, communities, and workplaces to come together to talk, listen and change lives.
Talking about mental health isn’t always easy and sometimes it’s even harder to say how you really feel. But a conversation has the power to change lives. Time to Talk Day is the perfect opportunity to start a conversation about mental health.
This year, Time to Talk Day will take place on 1 February. It’s run by Mind and Rethink Mental Illness and is being delivered in partnership with Co-op for the third year running.
Often, when someone opens up to us about their mental health, our immediate reaction is to want to fix their problems. In doing so, we underestimate the power of listening. Simply giving someone space to talk, and listening to how they’re feeling, can be really helpful in itself.
This Time to Talk Day, we’ve collaborated with Healthy Minds and mental health experts across the Bradford District and Craven Health and Care Partnership to bring you top tips on how to listen and provide support when someone talks about their mental health.
Advice includes:

We’ve also produced a series of videos featuring top tips from Daniel (KidsTime), Shanaz (Safe Spaces), Irteza (City Community Mental Health Team), Kim (Cellar Trust), Lindsay (Guide-Line), Shabana (Roshni Ghar) and Phil (Guide-Line).
