Have you been there for someone with a mental health problem? Or do you know someone who’s been there for you?

Time to Change are looking for people to share their stories to appear on their website or feature in their new advert. 

Time to Change is an anti-stigma campaign run by the leading mental health charities Mind and Rethink Mental Illness funded by the Department of Health and Comic Relief .  

These two charities decided to work together, combining their knowledge, skills and expertise, in the biggest attempt yet in England to end the discrimination that surrounds mental health.
