National Time To Talk Day
North Wales Police is supporting the National Time to Talk Day, tomorrow, 2nd February 2017.
We want to help break the silence and end the stigma around mental health problems.
Mental health problems affect 1 in 4 people every year, and yet people are still afraid to talk about it. Not being able to talk about a mental health condition can be one of the worst parts of the illness.
In getting people talking, we can help in breaking down stereotypes; improve relationships and aid recovery – helping to reduce the stigma associated with a condition that affects all of us.
The Time to Talk Day has sparked millions of conversations across the country, in the media and online. People have felt able to share their experiences without shame for the first time, and have started to support those around them. After the first conversation, people feel more comfortable talking about mental health and are more likely to want to talk about it again – that one conversation can have a significant impact.
So… help get the nation talking and take time within your working day to help break the silence.
Diane Pierce, the HR Lead for Health and Wellbeing in North Wales Police said: “As part of our on-going commitment to creating a positive and healthy working environment and tackling stigma around mental-ill health, we are supporting the National Time to Talk Day.”
If you are experiencing mental health problems or need urgent support, there are lots of places you can go for help including your GP, Mental Health Organisations or Occupational Health.
