Time to Talk
Posted on 31 January 2021
The more conversations we have, the more myths we can bust and barriers we can break down, helping to end the stigma that many people can feel about mental health problems.

And remember, if you or the person you are talking to need more support, there are many support services here for you:

- Get in touch with Nightline, a confidential listening service run by students, for students.
There is a wide range of further support available on our health and wellbeing pages:
