Who is Time to Change?

• Growing movement of people changing how we

all think and act about mental health problems

• Voice stronger and louder thanks to funding by

DH, Comic Relief and Big Lottery Fund

• Run by Mind and Rethink Mental Illness and

1000s more organisations have joined us

Why we’re here

• Attitudes of others stop people getting help and

support

• Too many made to feel isolated, ashamed and

worthless

• We want everyone to be free of fear and have

equal opportunities

• We believe this generation can be more open

Why we’re here 88% of people using mental health services

experienced discrimination

60% of people said that stigma and discrimination

are as damaging or more damaging than the symptoms of their mental health problem

27% said stigma had made them want to give up on

life

mental health problems.

health problems report in their personal relationships, their social lives and at work.

• Make sure even more people with mental health problems can take

action to challenge stigma and discrimination in their communities, in workplaces, in schools and on-line.

Champion Campaign Groups

Time to Change Champion Campaign Groups bring people together who have their own experience of mental health problems who want to change how we all think and act about mental health. The groups of three or more Time to Change Champions campaign within their local communities through social contact activities. This is a type of campaigning where people with their own experience have conversations with those who may not. This is social contact
