Time to Talk
Simply talking can be a lifeline for people experiencing a mental health problem.
That’s the message of a new Port of London Authority (PLA) film, produced to mark Time to Talk day (4 February), which aims to get the nation discussing mental health, particularly in the ongoing pandemic.
The film, made in partnership with other members of the Tidal Thames Water Safety Forum (TTWSF), along with Maritime UK, is hosted by star of stage and screen, Gary Wilmot MBE.
He interviews Mental Health UK ambassador Neil Laybourn, who helped Prince William launch the TTWSF in 2019, with a moving account of how he intervened to stop a stranger from taking his own life on the river.
