About Talk Out Loud!
Here at Talk Out Loud, we pride ourselves on raising awareness around mental health by offering a self-employed work initiative that travels throughout the UK. By chatting directly with members of the public and speaking from personal experience, we’re able to provide useful information, signpost support services, share coping mechanisms and strategies, and offer our full support in confidence. We’re always happy to answer questions about the many aspects of mental health.
People across the UK are struggling daily with mental health issues. Speaking from experience, it’s far more beneficial to talk out loud than to keep those troubling thoughts bottled up inside. Whether you’re experiencing mental health challenges yourself, or feeling the indirect effects through a friend or loved one, please stop and talk to us in the street. You might even consider purchasing a wristband or book to show your support.

Poem By A Mental Health Patient!
When all is lost and you feel down,
Don’t despair cause good times will come back around,
When all around you is pain and sorrow,
Never give in – there is still tomorrow,
When all you do is hide and cry and want to run a mile,

When you finally think you’ve had enough,
And you finally think about taking that fatal walk,
Stop, think and remember!
It’s good to talk out loud!
Never Give Up!!!!
