My name is Andrew and I’m a very proud dad who looks after my son and daughter, who have both been diagnosed with a mental health problem. I was really interested to see the results from the recent survey by Time to Change that found that ‘dads were the last person we talk to about a mental health problem.'
Hi, I'm Karl and I volunteered at the Time to Change roadshow in Cambridge. My first experience volunteering for Time to Change was a great one, not only was I working with a really helpful and knowledgeable team, but I felt as though I was really making a difference.
Hi everyone, my name is Jules and I was a volunteer at the Leeds Roadshow on Saturday 4th June and oh wow, what a fantastic day it was!
I was apprehensive at first, as I was unable to attend the training session due to other commitments and so didn't know anyone else there but I needn't have worried - everyone was so welcoming, both the Time to Change team and other volunteers made me feel completely at home and straight away I felt like part of a team and not an outsider.
My wife Kanta and I act as carers to our son Deepan, who was diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder in 1989. People are not always kind about Deepan or know what to say or do, but I think this is because there is a lot of misunderstanding about mental illness and it is still very hidden.
