Time to Talk Day is on 5 February 2026.
It’s the nation’s biggest mental health conversation. A chance to listen, share, and talk about what really matters.
Brave the big talk
This Time to Talk Day, we’re encouraging you to brave the big talk – and have conversations about mental health experiences that might still feel a bit unspoken.
We’ve made great progress in destigmatising mental health problems and improving attitudes. But we need to keep going. There are still times when what we are living through can feel really big and difficult to talk about.
What is Time to Talk Day?
Time to Talk Day is the nation’s biggest mental health conversation. It’s a day for all of us to come together to talk, listen and change lives.
Why is talking important?
Talking openly and honestly can be the first step towards better mental health for everyone. It can even save lives. Talking can reduce stigma and help people feel comfortable enough to seek help when they need it.
