BLOG: ‘Let’s Talk Openly: Time to Talk Day 2024’  

In a world that often stigmatises mental health, Time to Talk Day serves as a powerful reminder that dialogue can be a catalyst for change. 

Why is this day so crucial? Mental health affects us all, directly or indirectly. Yet, due to stigma and misconceptions, many suffer in silence. Time to Talk Day aims to shatter these barriers, encouraging everyone to share their experiences and seek support when needed. Reach out to a friend, a colleague, or a family member. Share your own experiences or simply lend a listening ear. The power of a conversation should never be underestimated.

This year, End Stigma Surrey is hosting free events across Surrey to provide resources that empower individuals in their mental health journey. Whether you’re looking for informative articles, self-help guides, or simply a route to connect with others who understand, End Stigma Surrey have got you covered.  

“Time to Talk Day 2024 is just around the corner, and this year, End Stigma Surrey are thrilled to be hosting events in Surrey. 
On February 1st, let’s come together to break the stigma around mental health and promote open conversations.”
Joe Stroud, End Stigma Surrey
