I went to the cinema a couple of days ago.
Whilst in the loo, I happened to read an advert for the 'Time to Change' campaign displayed above the wash basins. I think that for any change to happen more people need to get involved.
Time to Change has launched a new campaign with the support of many well-known faces, all pledging to do their bit to end mental health prejudice. But no-one is more important than you in making it really happen!
Click on the ad below and register with the campaign to lend your support.
