Many groups belonging to the Network have been taking people to their Covid vaccinations.

#TimeToTalk

Thursday 4th November is #TimeToTalk day. 1 in 4 of us will experience a mental health problem in any given year, which is why talking about mental health is so important. It’s a chance for all of us to open up to mental health – to talk, to listen, to change lives. A small conversation about mental health has the power to make a big difference.
