We've teamed up with the Time to Change campaign to offer our Mental Health Resource Pack to everyone who attends their Training the Trainers Workshop.

​

When we first designed and created our Mental Health Resource Pack, we approached Time to Change to ask if they'd like to contribute. The response we got was amazing - not only did they love our Resource Pack, but they added an advert for Youth Work Hub - and the resource pack - to the USB stick they're handing out to youth workers who attend the training workshops for their Young People's Training the Trainers scheme.

​

Time to Change is an anti-stigma campaign, run by the leading mental health charities Mind and Rethink Mental Illness.

​

These two charities decided to work together, combining their knowledge, skills and expertise, in the biggest attempt yet in England to end the discrimination that surrounds mental health.

​

The campaign is funded by the Department of Health and Comic Relief . 

Its first phase ran from 2007 - 2011 with funding from the Big Lottery Fund and Comic Relief. They are now in their 2nd phase, which will run until March 2015.

​

This is the 1st project in England aiming to change behaviour, not just attitudes.

The aims for this phase are to:​

• Improve public attitudes towards people with mental health problems by 5%
• Reduce discrimination by 5%
• Reduce the number of areas of life in which people experience discrimination
• Increase the confidence and ability of people with mental health problems to address discrimination
• Improve the social capital of people with mental health problems.
