How does Time to Change Buckinghamshire work?

Time to Change Buckinghamshire’s work to end mental health stigma and discrimination includes:

  • Proactively campaigning to improve attitudes and behaviours towards mental health
  • Embedding anti-stigma and discrimination work locally, including in schools, workplaces or other community settings
  • Putting people with lived experience of mental health problems at the heart of our work
  • Bringing together partners to coordinate activities to empower people with lived experience to speak out about their experiences.

Our main areas of focus are:

  • Men
  • Children and young people
  • Perinatal mental health
  • Buckinghamshire businesses/employers

How can I get involved?

Anyone with lived experience of mental health problems can get involved by registering to be a Time to Change Champion. There are lots of opportunities for Champions to get involved within the community via:

  • Having conversations about mental health with the people around you – whether that’s your mum, a mate or the postman
  • Running a Time to Change activity, this could be in a cafe, train station or at work  
  • Telling your story online or in the media
  • Speaking up when people say stereotypical or damaging things about mental health
