Time to Talk Day: Celebs join NHS mental health campaign as figures show half of people in North East had 'concerns' in 2021

As the NHS has released figures showing more than half of people in the North East "were concerned about their mental health" in 2021, celebs including Craig David and Nicola Roberts have backed a campaign urging people to seek help.

Today, February 3, is also Time to Talk Day. It's a national event pushing people to speak up and be open about their mental health - and this year it coincides with the new video.

According to data from a poll of 3,000 people in our region, 59% had felt concerned about the mental health last year, with 51% experiencing stress, 50% anxiety and 45% low mood or depression.
