Time to Change is an absolutly amazing campaign that is led by the mental health charities Mind and Rethink Mental Illness. It’s main aim is to get people talking about Mental Illnesses and it’s doing an outstanding job! A couple of days ago they started the campaign ‘The Big Share’ which is predominantly pushed by people using social media. It is obvious to most people that social media is an amazing way of getting across a message – it is how most of you know about this blog!

The main way in which Time to Change are promoting this campaign is by encouraging people to download one (or many) of the images (found in the link below) and using them on social media. I’ve currently got a cover photo on Facebook and will be putting them onto this blog and twitter in the next couple of hours!

It’s amazing what sort of difference just a few people promoting this can do. Not enough people are aware of campaigns such as Time for Change that are driven by charities that literally change lives! I’m not asking for me, I’m asking for everybody that Time to Change helps, just change one of your photos on any social media site to a #TimeToTalk image! Even if it is just for a few hours or a day or a week, it makes such a huge difference.
If you do decide to change one of your images then tweet me (@SpottySunflower or @KerrySmith92) and I will tell you how amazing you are and might bake you cookies if I know how to get them to you!
It’s finally #TimeToTalk so prove that you’re not afraid to!
