Becoming Talk Well

For the last 30 years, we’ve been proud to serve young people as Teens in Crisis, and more recently as TIC+. However, as times change, so does language. We’ve come to realise that our name has, in some cases, become a barrier to young people accessing our services. As we’ve grown and evolved, we’ve reflected on who we are today and where we’re headed—and after 30 years, it’s time for a change.

Over the past 15 months, we’ve worked closely with young people, parents, staff, commissioners, and a talented design agency to ensure our new name truly reflects our mission. We’re delighted to share that from Monday 14 April 2025, TIC+ will become Talk Well.

Our new name encapsulates what we do: providing a safe space for children, young people, parents and carers to talk and be heard. This change allows us to better communicate our purpose and connect with those who need us most. You’ll find below a video explaining our new name:

While our name, logo, and colours may be changing, our heart remains the same. This is an evolution, not a revolution—our values, ethos, and the support we offer will not change.

Your support is incredibly important to us.

For three decades, we’ve been dedicated to supporting Gloucestershire’s young people, and we remain committed to this mission—soon as Talk Well—with hope and purpose for the next 30 years.

Thank you for being an integral part of our journey. We look forward to stepping into this exciting new chapter with you.

Logo and marketing materials

On Monday 14 April 2025 we’ll officially launch our new website, while this site will remain as a holding page for anyone who may click on an old link.

For those who need to update webpages or documents you will find our new logo available to download below:

Our new website will be: https://www.talkwell.org.uk/ and our main email address will be [email protected]. All TIC+ email addresses will continue to work but replies will come from the new Talk Well email addresses.

A4 posters and A5 flyers can be downloaded below. We will be distributing new posters and flyers to schools, GP surgeries and other locations shortly. Please do not destroy any TIC+ materials until you have replacements, our services are not changing and the information will remain relevant.
