Men's Mental Health Week

TheMix

Hello,

As you may be aware this week is Men’s Mental Health Week and we’ve teamed up with the JD Foundation to open up new spaces where young men can speak honestly, be heard without judgement, and connect with others.

Our brand-new Men’s Mental Health Support Chat runs every Monday from 8–9:30pm, in June (starting tonight!). Come as you are - whether you’re here to talk, listen, or just see what it’s all about.

Here’s something to get us talking:

What’s one thing you wish more people understood about men’s mental health?

It could be personal. It could be something you’ve seen. Whatever it is, your voice matters, and someone else might need to hear it this week.

Post a reply or just read along- whatever feels right!

As a woman, I wish people knew it was ok for men to struggle and to talk about it. We are all human, whether man, woman, non binary or any other gender - we can all struggle and find life really hard. Any phrase that encourages men to shut down (“man up” for example) is so so bad, men should feel supported. It’s something I want all the men in my life to know, and if they don’t want to talk to me that’s fine but please just talk to someone.
