Time to Talk Day 2026 - Brave the Big Talk

4 February 2026

his Thursday, 5 February 2026, is Time to Talk Day - the UK’s biggest mental health conversation.  Time to Talk Day encourages people everywhere – at work, with family and friends - to break the silence around mental health by simply talking, listening and supporting each other.

Talking about mental health doesn’t have to be difficult - simple gestures like checking in with a colleague over coffee or sending a thoughtful message to a friend can go a long way in ensuring those around you feel heard.  Small, open conversations can reduce stigma, improve understanding and help people feel comfortable seeking support when they need it.

Mind have created an Information Pack for employers with ideas for activities, fundraising, raising awareness and where to find support.  The pack can be found here.

We believe all our colleagues deserve to feel heard and supported.  This Time to Talk Day, we’re encouraging our members to take a moment to start a meaningful conversation - because talking truly can change lives.
