News: Time to Talk Day: start the conversation about mental health
Today (5 February) is Time to Talk Day — the nation’s biggest mental health conversation.
Time to Talk Day is an important opportunity to break down the barriers around mental health in the workplace. Whether it’s a quick check-in or a more in-depth discussion, starting the conversation about how people are feeling and coping can make a real difference.
Making mental health a regular part of workplace conversations — just like physical health — helps create a supportive environment and prevents work-related stress.
HSE’s Working Minds campaign provides practical tools and guidance for employers, managers, and workers to recognise, reduce, and prevent work-related stress while supporting mental health at work.

Start the conversation today and help make mental health a normal part of everyday discussions at work.
