Mental health pilot success ahead of Make Time initiative this November

A pilot project aimed at improving attitudes to mental health has seen an increased willingness by young people to talk about the issue and a reduction in derogatory language.

The project has been run by the mental health campaign Time to Change and has taken place in secondary schools in Kent over the last 18 months.

Time to Change, which is run by the charities Mind and Rethink Mental Illness, aims reduce the stigma that is often attached to mental health and supports schools to get students talking more openly about these issues.

The results of its pilot project come ahead of the campaign’s Make Time 4 Mental Health initiative this November, when schools across the country will be encouraged to use bespoke resources and activities to discuss mental health with their students.
