The Gloucestershire charity, which has also previously been called Teens in Crisis” said that its TIC+ name “was a barrier to children and young people accessing its support because it suggested it only helps teenagers in crisis, rather than nine- to 25-year-olds with talking therapies at whatever stage they need it”.
“This input resulted in the new name, Talk Well, which better communicates its purpose and connects with children and young people who need a safe space to talk and be heard – to ‘talk well’,” it added.
