Who are Time to Change West Essex ?
We are a social movement aiming to change the way people think and act about mental health in West Essex.
Partners in Time to Change West Essex are:
Our partners are committed to helping our work and ensuring we reach all areas of West Essex. Together we will tackle the stigma attached to mental health problems, by reaching out and involving local residents who have experience of mental health problems to speak and share their stories.
Collectively we can make West Essex a better and healthier place to live and grow in. We can make changes today that will be embedded into the future, so fighting stigma is part of our community.
How does Time to Change West Essex work?
Our Champions are passionate about speaking to others in the community and spreading our anti-stigma message. The more people who speak out, the louder our voice and the more people we can reach.
Through community events and social media we spread the message and start conversations. A few upcoming events are:
- Dunmow Soap Box
- Dunmow Carnival
- Loughton Family Wellbeing Fair
- Woodfest festival
We also work with employers and employees to encourage all local businesses to sign up to the Time to Change Employer Pledge.
How can I get involved?
We are always looking for new Champions. As a Champion, you’ll be able to access our Champions fund, to help you financially with running your own events. You can sign up to be a Champion online.
