One in 4 of us will experience a mental health problem in any given year. We all have mental health and by talking about it we can support ourselves and others. Time to Talk Day is a day for friends, families, communities, and workplaces to come together to talk about mental health, listen and change lives. Talking about mental health reduces stigma, helps to create supportive communities where we can talk openly about mental health and help us feel empowered to seek help when we need it. That’s why opening up the conversation about mental health problems is so important – by talking about it we can support ourselves and others.

On World Suicide Prevention Day, it's important to remember that suicide is not a choice made in isolation—it's often the result of deep emotional pain and overwhelming mental health struggles. As a clinical psychologist, I believe in the power of compassion, support, and understanding to help those in distress. Let's all commit to reducing stigma, increasing mental health awareness, and being a source of light for those who feel lost in the darkness. A conversation, a listening ear, or a simple act of kindness can make all the difference. Together, we can prevent suicide. #WorldSuicidePreventionDay #MentalHealthMatters #EndTheStigma #SupportAndCare
