title: Time to Change from the perspective of a family member. Invited commentary on...Evaluation of England's Time to Change programme.
abstract: This commentary views the Time to Change programme from a triple perspective: that of a concerned family member, an academic investigator and an American. The programme's results are both encouraging and sobering. Progress has been made in employers' views, but mental health professionals remain a source of discrimination. Future initiatives must have realistic objectives, be multifaceted and avoid overzealous promises.
