How to blog for Time to Change

Sue Baker - Director of Time to Change Blogs can be an incredibly powerful way to talk about mental health and reach hundreds and thousands of people.

Talking about mental health can aid recovery and challenge mental health discrimination and stigma.

We publish blogs that are about:

  • personal experiences of mental health discrimination and stigma
  • or experiences of talking about mental health (whether positive or negative).

For example, the blog post could be about an experience of discrimination at work or it could be about a fear of telling a close friend or family member about mental health problems you’ve experienced.

We generally don't publish blogs that focus mainly on:

  • mental health policy
  • the mental health system
  • medication or treatment

If you want to blog about any of the above or your blog doesn't focus primarily on the issue of mental health stigma or discrimination, you can try these alternatives:
