West Sussex has won a bid to become one of the first Time to Change hubs.
The new partnership of local organisations and mental health champions are committed to improving attitudes and behaviours towards people experiencing mental health problems. The new hub is being created to combine the insights from the Time to Change Campaign run by charities Mind and Rethink Mental Illness, with local knowledge to support communities to take action in their area. Time to Change West Sussex is led by the local Health and Wellbeing Board.
West Sussex is one of four hubs to be launched along with Cumbria, Leeds and Suffolk. Over the next three years a further 12 hubs will be established across England to provide a focus for local campaigning work.
