Tea & Talk for World Mental Health Day on 10 October

How can I take part in Tea & Talk?

According to the Mental Health Foundation research has shown that talking is good for your mental health, so we are asking colleagues across the Society to take out some time to hold a Tea & Talk session with their team. The session does not have to be long (preferably a minimum of an hour) and it’s your opportunity to talk to your colleagues about anything that is on your mind.

Talking about anything and building relationships is great for your mental health. There are plenty of activities you can do in your Tea & Talk session such as quizzes and games, the choice is yours. Take a look at the Mental Health Foundation website for more information about Tea & Talk by clicking here.
