I have come a long way since I first became involved with Time to Change, almost two years ago. At that time I was determined that something needed to be done to stop the stigma around the subject of mental health.
My husband and I recently volunteered to help with the Time to Change campaign. It was a bit of a last minute decision. I had heard about Time to Change through the mental health charity Rethink Mental Illness and so I had realised that there was a roadshow coming up near us in Bournemouth. I also knew that they were looking for volunteers to talk to members of the public on the subject of mental health.
