NEWS | Time To Talk Day – Ramblers Group Mental Wellbeing and Walking
The Ramblers group are bringing more people together across Britain who may feel lonely, isolated or are struggling with their mental health. Together with Time to Change they are encouraging all their groups to have conversations about mental health during their walks in the first week of February.
Time to Talk Day Thursday 6th February 2020
Mental health problems affect one in four of us, yet many people are still afraid to talk about it. Walking is a perfect way to start having a conversation with others and open up.
Being physically active, connecting with nature and other people – the ingredients of a Ramblers group walk – are all things which have been shown to have a positive impact on mental health and wellbeing.
That is why the Ramblers are supporting Time to Talk Day to end mental health stigma. Together, they are encouraging the nation to get walking and talking, beginning with Time to Talk Day 6th February 2020.
How Walking Can Help Mental Health
We know people benefit physically, emotionally and mentally once they start to walk regularly outdoors. The Ramblers is committed to helping everyone find their feet to improve their mental health through walking and tackle loneliness in our communities.
As well as being great for physical health, walking also benefits our mental health.
- Walking and talking come very naturally together and walking in a group can make us feel more connected to each other, reducing loneliness and isolation.
- Walking can improve mood and sleep-quality, reduce stress and anxiety.
- Being in nature or in green spaces is shown to have a positive impact on mental health through being closer to greenery and being in a natural environment.
