Time to Talk Day 2021

Lodged by Alexander Stewart Standard Motion 21 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament welcomes Time to Talk day 2021, which takes place on 4 February; acknowledges that it will see all four of the UK's anti-stigma programmes get together to challenge discrimination by encouraging people everywhere to have conversations, and will be led in Scotland by See Me, which tackles mental health stigma and discrimination; believes that a small conversation about mental health has the power to make a big difference and is something that everyone can do; notes that the theme for this year is "The Power Of Small", to highlight that small gestures can make a big difference, even when people have to be socially distanced; applauds the work of the country's many mental health organisations, such as See Me and SAMH, and encourages everyone to take a look at the charities’ online resources and activity packs and to start up mental health conversations with friends, neighbours, family, colleagues or whoever they believe it will make a difference to.
