MindOut, the LGBT mental health project are offering free tea and cake on Time to Talk Day, Thursday, February 6.
Join MindOut for a cup of tea and cake and chat to a volunteer who has lived through mental health issues.
There will also be an opportunity to have a taster of MindOut’s online support service.
First come, first served until the tea cake runs out. The first few people will get a free tea bag as well which you can take home and have a tea and talk with friends or family.
The event is open to everyone and is part of Time to Change’s national campaign to end the stigma and discrimination of mental health.
The Time to Talk Day will see hundreds of organisations across England running events to start conversations about mental health. The aim is to have a million conversations in one day. This MindOut event is part of this big day and there is no need to book in advance.
Helen Jones, MindOut Director, said: “It’s a great opportunity to be part of a huge national drive to address the stigma surrounding mental health and lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender communities. Stigma stops people from seeking support, stigma stops people talking about their experiences, stigma makes mental health issues worse than they need be. We are all affected by stigma and the discrimination it gives rise to. Come along and help us end mental health stigma on February 6!”
