With one in four people in England likely to experience a mental health problem, it's Time to Change attitudes towards mental illness in the north east, so look out for our campaign to end mental health prejudice which will soon be coming to a town or city near you.

In the north east, Time to Change week will kick off with a series of roadshows in towns and cities across the region where we will be asking people to make a pledge to help end mental health prejudice.
Celebrities like Frank Bruno, Stephen Fry and Ruby Wax have already shown their support for Time to Change by making their own pledge to help stamp out stigma.
So drop by one of the following locations to pledge your support and meet local sporting and entertainment celebrities who are volunteering their time to support Time to Change:

Blyth market place, Friday August 6 between 12noon - 4pm.
Newcastle City Centre, Monument Mall, Saturday August 7 all day.
Hartlepool Tall Ships Race, Sunday August 8 all day.
Sunderland City Centre, outside the Bridges Shopping Centre, Monday August 9 between 10am - 12:30pm.
Durham City Centre, Millennium Place, Monday August 9 between 1pm - 4pm. 

Keep up to date with the roadshow on Twitter and Facebook!

The roadshows will be followed by a series of events throughout September and October ahead of World Mental Health Day on Saturday 10 October 2010.
Time to Change is led by Mind and Rethink, funded by the Big Lottery Fund and Comic Relief and supported by NHS North East through the Lottery Funded New Leaf New Life programme.
