Tees: Time to Talk

Tees Time to Talk

Tees Time to Talk is a self-help and talking therapies service for people with common mental health problems.

Common Mental Health Problems

One in four of us will have some sort of mental health problem in our lifetime. This means there are millions of people in Britain who are either having problems themselves, or know someone else who is experiencing them. These conditions, which range from very mild to quite severe, can occur at any age and many people have to cope with a mixture of problems. It is very common, for example, to experience both depression and anxiety.

How Can We Help

Different treatments are recommended for different problems. Talking therapy, self-help approaches and exercise tend to be most commonly recommended interventions for common mental health problems such as anxiety or depression. We offer psychological interventions that include talking therapies and self-help programmes.

Employment

We will also help you access other support services that may help you find a job or return to work if this is something that would be helpful to you.

Getting Help

Tees Time to Talk is a free service and is open to anyone over 16, registered with a Teesside GP, who isn’t already accessing Adult Mental Health services.
