From Healthwatch Central West London

Time to Talk Day encourages everyone to be more open about mental health – to talk, to listen, to change lives.

Visit here for more information.

On 4 February the Voice Exchange will be hosting a ‘Living Library’ virtual event to commemorate Time to Talk Day. It works just like a normal library except instead of borrowing books you are borrowing people for a chat. We will be running the Living Library via Zoom between 1pm – 3pm exclusively for Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust staff members.

Each conversation lasts for up to 15 minutes and you will be in a zoom ‘room’ with your matched person. We hope to facilitate two-way learning during this event, so those with lived experience can share their insights and those with professional experience can share what they do in their roles.

Time slots available:

1pm

2pm

1.15pm

2.15pm

1.30pm

2.30pm

1.45pm

2.45pm
