Time To Talk Day 5th February 2026

Brave The Big Talk

Time to Talk day is the nation’s biggest mental health conversation. Led by Mind it is a chance to listen, share, and talk about what really matters, with a focus this year on having conversations about mental health experiences that might still feel unspoken.

Talking openly and honestly can be the first step towards better mental health for everyone. Talking can reduce stigma and help people feel comfortable enough to seek help when they need it.

There are lots of ways to start a conversation and get involved this Time to Talk Day:

Go for a walk and talk with a neighbour

Text a friend to ask how they’re doing

Invite a colleague for a cup of tea and a chat
