Britain Get Talking
Connecting with others is one of the key ways that we can all protect our mental wellbeing. That’s why ITV and STV have created their landmark mental health initiative, Britain Get Talking, in partnership with charities Mind, YoungMinds and SAMH (Scottish Action for Mental Health)
Whether it’s reaching out to someone for a chat or opening up about something that’s worrying you, we’re asking the nation to take the time to get talking!

Hardest Subject
For World Mental Health Day 2023, we set the nation a homework task like no other - to share what's on their minds.
#NoSilencePlease
In Spring 2023, we encouraged the nation to be anything but silent when it came to discussing exam stress.
Breakthrough
In 2022, we encouraged the nation to take the time and persevere with difficult conversations to help reduce stress and anxiety.
“Even if it sometimes feels tricky, spending time with other people and sharing how we feel can help us to feel close and supported.”
Dr Lucy Maddox, Consultant clinical psychologist
