Caroline Lucas MP for Brighton Pavilion popped into the MindOut Time to Talk event at Lovefit Cafe yesterday (Thursday, February 6) for coffee, cake and a chat.
Time to Talk in Brighton was organised by MindOut the Brighton based LGBT mental health project as part of a wider national event organised by Time to Change a charity created to help end mental health discrimination.
Free cake and coffee were offered to people to go along and discuss face to face with other people issues surrounding mental health stigma.
Caroline, MP for Brighton Pavilion, said:
“Most people have either experienced a mental health problem, or know someone who has.
Yet despite how common mental illness is, those living with it still often have to deal with prejudice, ignorance and fear.
Just talking about mental health problems – as we would with physical illness – is one of the most important things we can do to tackle stigma. That’s why Time to Talk day is such a brilliant idea, and I was very happy to be part of it.”
