WITH so many of us suffering mentally due to the ongoing impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, today’s annual ‘Time to Talk Day’ is perhaps even more crucial in the current climate. Conversations about mental health will be happening nationwide today as part of the social movement organised by Time to Change to end the stigma surrounding speaking out about your problems and asking for help. In a bid to use our platforms in a positive light, our newsroom and sister titles across the UK are promoting awareness of positive mental health. Social media is now too often used to spread hate, negativity and as a tool for trolling or bullying – and sadly during lockdown this does appear to have only got worse in many cases.
