Time to Talk Day: 6 February 2020
Choose talk, change lives.
Mental health problems affect one in four of us, yet too many people are made to feel isolated, ashamed and worthless because of this. Time to Talk Day encourages everyone to be more open about mental health – to talk, to listen, to change lives.
On Time to Talk Day we want everyone to have a conversation about mental health – whether that’s texting a friend, chatting to a colleague or organising an event. By doing so, we can change the way people think, talk and act about mental health problems. We want to make stigma and discrimination a thing of the past.
The more we talk, the more we can break down barriers and shatter myths - helping to end the isolation, shame and worthlessness that too many of us feel when experiencing a mental health problem. Talking has the power to change lives.

MY #BOROMANCAN STORY
"When we see the mental health campaigns, for a lot of people the barriers go up... it's the first word that people can't get over"
Boro Man Can Launch Event
BoroManCan is a campaign which is telling stories of local men and services that enable men to be men, be courageous, strong and face their vulnerabilities sooner.
We are passionate about making #BoroManCan a medium for telling the stories of men’s health improvement across all our services and communities in South Tees Public Health area (Middlesbrough, Redcar & Cleveland).
Men of all ages, who have shown courage and found the strength and inspiration to kick against the cultural norms that, for a vast majority of men, prevent them taking early action to stop their lives spinning out of control.
www.BoroManCan.co.uk is a website to share stories of Tees Males who have had positive turnaround from having difficulties in their life, for physical or mental health. This can often be financial, relationship, drinking instead of facing issues head on, even diabetes or weight loss.
BoroManCan partners can be anyone from a small community activity group to large local employers who are committed to the values of BoroManCan, sharing men’s stories, doing men’s health in a way that appeals to men.
The campaigns success will depend on men being inspired by its messages to seek help sooner, choosing their own healthier pathway with the appropriate support.
