Stephen Morgan MP invites Portsmouth people to conversation on mental health

By 8 January 2026No Comments

Stephen Morgan MP is inviting constituents to his next Cuppa and Chat event on Saturday 31 January to provide a space to learn about and discuss mental health. 

The coffee morning, taking place from 10:30am to 12 noon, will also be attended by a panel of representatives that will be sharing information and answering questions on this topic in an informal setting over light refreshments.  

Attendees will have the opportunity to share their experiences, ideas and concerns for Mr Morgan to take back to Westminster. 

The event, taking place following the Mental Health Bill 2025 receiving Royal Assent last month, will be in Fratton. 

Attendees will be notified of the venue ahead of the event. 

Constituents can sign up to attend the coffee morning here. 

Commenting on the upcoming event, Portsmouth South MP Stephen Morgan said: 

“Far too many people are still suffering in silence as they navigate their personal mental health alone.  

“Severe detrimental impacts of recent circumstances, such as the Covid-19 Pandemic, have been felt nationwide and made open conversation more important than ever.  

“If more people talk openly about mental health and suicide, spot the signs, listen without judgement, we can all make a difference. 

“I am proud to be part of a Government taking decisive action to change how Britain discusses and addressed the mental health of its people.” 

Since coming into office, the Labour Government has been taking action to modernise the support and perception of mental health. 

The recently passed Mental Health Act 2025 is intended to ensure that everyone with serious mental illness is treated with dignity and respect throughout their treatment, alongside enhanced rights and support.
