Time to Talk Day is an annual event that encourages open conversations about mental health, observed on the first Thursday in February. It aims to break the silence surrounding mental health struggles by inviting individuals to share their feelings with others, whether through casual chats or deeper discussions within families and workplaces. The day focuses on reducing the stigma associated with mental health issues, making it easier for people to seek support. Celebratory actions include hosting "Tea and Talk" sessions, creating conversation corners, sharing personal stories on social media, engaging in artistic expression, and going for walks to facilitate discussions. Founded in 2014 by the mental health charities Mind and Rethink Mental Illness in partnership with the Co-op, Time to Talk Day has grown into a significant mental health awareness event in the UK, highlighting the importance of talking and listening in promoting mental well-being.
