Time to Change, a growing social movement run by Mind and Rethink Mental Illness, is working to change the way we all think and act about mental health problems.

Since we began in 2007, around 4.1 million adults in England have improved attitudes towards mental health problems. That is an improvement of 9.6% between 2008 and 2016. And more people than ever are able to be open about their mental health problems.

Despite these improvements, too many people who experience mental health problems are made to feel isolated, ashamed and alone. In fact, 90% of people who experience a metal health problem face stigma from their family, friends or work colleagues.

It is often said the stigma they experience is worse than the mental health problem itself. It can make it harder for people to find employment, build relationships and access help. It can exacerbate their condition and has the potential to be life-threatening.

When one in four of us will fight a mental health problem in any given year and suicide is the biggest killer of men under the age of 40, it is vital that we come together to tackle mental health stigma.
