Time to Talk Day is the nation's biggest mental health conversation.
Taking place on Thursday 1 February 2024, it is a day that friends, families, communities, and workplaces come together to talk, listen and change lives.
For Time to Talk this year, See Me and SAMH are encouraging everyone to have more honest conversations about how they're feeling to help combat the stigma that still exists around mental health.
The theme for this year's campaign is 'what I really mean'which highlights that the words we say don't always reflect what's going on beneath the surface.

Overview
Managers have become more important than ever for ensuring work doesn't make people sick. However, according to recent research from the CIPD, managers remain the biggest negative impact on wellbeing, with one in two employees who have a poor manager saying work negatively affects their mental health.
This means the single most important thing employers can do to boost the health of their workforce in 2024 is to equip managers with the competency to manage wellbeing. Critical to this is equipping managers with an understanding of how they can impact on the emotional energy levels, autonomy and motivation of others and developing them to do this in positive ways.
We have developed a framework for upskilling managers to support wellbeing, which we are excited to share with you during this free training session.
