Next week something big is happening in the world of Mental Health. Thursday the 6th of February is Time to Talk Day
Normally you’d expect me to dive in & get involved, bang the drum, wave some flags & lead the debate. Not this time.
I’m issuing a challenge to my followers on twitter and to readers of the blog. I’m going to ask you to start the conversation. If you tweet me using #timetotalk or comment on the blog I will happily engage with you but I will only be responding to your approach, not broadcasting.
If this seems odd then bear with me. The idea of Time to talk day is about starting conversations – and you know what, I’ve become an expert at that.
What I’d like to do instead is offer a friendly ear for anyone who is a bit nervous, a bit unsure of where to start, what to say or even who to talk to. Start your first conversation around mental health with me – who knows where it could lead us both……
What’s the most powerful thing somebody’s done for you or said to you during your journey of the last year or so?
Hi Helen, thanks for commenting.
In all honesty I don’t know. Your question has prompted a deep reflection so thank you. I think it may be something my therapist said – which I’m not comfortable with sharing here. However, I’ll drop you a line via twitter when I’ve thought some more. Is that ok?
Jon
Of course!
