Her.ie, LYONS Tea and Pieta House are joining forces for a very special event

Brought to you by LYONS Tea supporting Pieta House.

This is going to be great.

It's good to talk, especially about something as important as mental health. Which is why we are delighted to announce a new event that will be taking place on 10 October. Her.ie has teamed up with LYONS Tea and Pieta House to bring you #TimeToTalk. This live event will feature talks and discussions from mental health campaigners and experts from around the country. In recent years, Her.ie and our brother site JOE.ie, have played a leading role in discussing mental health in Ireland. From publishing reader's accounts of life with anxiety, to an open letter to the government slamming mental health cuts, we've talked about them all. We want to continue that conversation now.  #TimeToTalk will take place at  the Royal College of Physicians on Kildare Street in Dublin on Monday, 10 October (you can sign up to attend for free at the bottom of this article) and features a number of committed, high-profile campaigners for better mental health facilities in Ireland. The night will see a panel discussion with the following speakers... Blindboy Boatclub from The Rubberbandits Brian Higgins (below, left), CEO of Pieta House Donal Scanlan from Mental Health First Aid Ireland And many more. After the main panel discussion, a number of breakout sessions will focus on topics such as  Understanding Emotions, Stigma (or 'what we talk about when we talk about mental health'), Budgets and Funding and How To Bring About Change. If you would like to apply for free tickets to this fantastic event simply fill out the form below. Successful applicants will be contacted before Friday 7 October. LYONS Tea has been at the centre of conversations in Irish households for generations. Many a problem has been shared over a cup of their tea. That's why LYONS is delighted to support Pieta House to raise awareness for the services they provide and to get the nation talking about mental health issues.
