Time To Change

The mental health charity Time to Change has launched a new campaign entitled Be in Your Mate’s Corner aiming to encourage people to help out their mates who are struggling from mental health issues.

The revelatory statistic that one in four of us suffers from some form of mental disorder is used to galvanize support for anyone who may be behaving differently or visibly retreating into their shell.

Their campaign has kicked off with a great, heart-warming TVC that show three guys arriving at their friend’s workplace to offer their support. Whether it’s meeting a mate for lunch when they’re having a tough day, or just sitting on the sofa in silence next to them just to be there, the campaign aims to promote how important it is for you to stick by them and make sure they know they’re not alone.

A profound, immensely important campaign and one that hopefully can make a significant difference to make these commonplace mental illnesses everyday talking points instead of taboo subjects. Have a watch here.
