Time to Talk Day at Cygnet Hospital Beckton
The team at Cygnet Hospital Beckton came together for Time to Talk Day, to talk, listen, and support one another in a safe and welcoming space to allow for open conversations about mental health.
Time to Talk Day was launched in 2014 to help end mental health stigma and encourage open conversations. On the day, discussions focused on preventing burnout, setting boundaries, managing stress, fostering positive connections, and making use of the support available for both staff and service users.
Talking about mental health isn’t always easy, but open conversations can make a real difference in our well-being.
Dr. Jason Tan, Medical Director, and Matteo Parrisi, Forensic Psychologist, were praised by the staff for their invaluable advice and support, as well as other colleagues who openly shared their experiences.
The team have vowed to continue to create a culture where mental health conversations are normal, supportive, and empowering.
