Reference excerpt

Time to Change is a mental health campaign in England, launched in 2007 with the objective of reducing mental health-related stigma and discrimination.

Description Time to Change (TTC) was formed in 2007 by mental health charities MIND and Rethink Mental Illness, aiming to reduce mental health-related stigma and discrimination. A specific objective was to reduce stigma and discrimination by 5 per cent in the first 12 months. The first four years were funded by grants of £20.5 million from the Big Lottery Fund and Comic Relief. TTC also asked organisations and individuals to sign a pledge supporting its anti-stigma programme. Organisations signing the pledge include the Bank of England, the Financial Conduct Authority, British Gas, British Telecom, Lloyds Banking Group, Ernst & Young, E.ON, PepsiCo and parts of the National Health Service. A pledge event took place at the Houses of Parliament in October 2013, giving MPs an opportunity to sign up. In 2011, TTC launched a four-week television advertising campaign to promote its new slogan: "It's time to talk. It's Time to Change." The campaign was fronted by a number of celebrities, including political strategist Alastair Campbell, presenter Davina McCall, singers Shojon, Frankie Sandford, and boxer Ricky Hatton. In 2014, the campaign supported the "Laughing for a Change" project run by actress Janice Connolly, which aimed to promote awareness of mental health through a stand-up comedy tour. Time to Change was drawn to a close on 31 March 2021, saying that despite an "impressive track record, and identifying that the job is not yet done, the Government has confirmed it is not in a position to fund the programme into the future".

Outcomes An academic study was carried out to measure whether TTC had met their 5 per cent target in the first 12 months. The study measured "progress toward meeting TTC's target of a 5 per cent reduction in discrimination". An independent evaluation of the campaign's first four years took place in 2013. Though it found a reduction in discrimination from friends and families, change in attitudes from health professionals was negligible.

Wales In Wales the campaign was launched in 2012 under the name Time to Change Wales, led by Welsh mental health charities MIND Cymru, Gofal and Hafal.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Time to Change (mental health campaign)

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Time to Change (mental health campaign) claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Time to Change (mental health campaign) before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Time to Change (mental health campaign) ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Time to Change (mental health campaign)

In research: Time to Change (mental health campaign) appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Time to Change (mental health campaign) in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Time to Change (mental health campaign) is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2007 establishments in the United Kingdom, Health campaigns, Mental health in England, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Time to Change (mental health campaign) outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
