The Pressure Men Carry
For many men, poor mental health is part of daily life.
We’re told to be strong, successful, and unemotional but that pressure takes its toll.
Even when men want support, they’re often met with services that don’t feel safe, welcoming or built for them.
It’s time for a different approach.
“I felt safe in the group, it was warm and supportive. The other men were open and showed vulnerability.”
Men Who Talk creates simple, stigma-free spaces where men support each other through conversation, not counselling, not therapy, just honest chat.
Founded to tackle the gaps traditional services miss, we use the power of peer support to break down barriers, boost connection, and show that asking for help is not a weakness, but a strength.
