About Us

Founded in January 2022 by Samuel Davies, Men Who Talk is a registered UK charity offering safe, inclusive spaces for men to open up, connect, and support one another.

Men's Online Groups

We were created in response to a stark reality: suicide is the leading cause of death for men under 45, yet many support services still fail to engage men in a way that feels accessible or meaningful. Men Who Talk offers a different approach, informal, non-clinical spaces where men can simply talk. No pressure, no therapy, just honest conversation with others who get it.

Alongside our peer-led group sessions, we work with employers to tackle stigma in the workplace through discussion-based workshops. We help organisations create cultures where men feel supported, especially in high-pressure environments where mental health is often overlooked.

In 2023, we launched our University Engagement Days to respond to the growing crisis in student mental health. These sessions support young men while raising awareness among future mental health professionals.

And in 2024, we introduced Support The Supporters, the UK’s first free group space for those supporting men with their mental health. It’s a vital reminder that the people helping others need help too.

From workplaces to universities to families, we’re here to change the conversation around men’s mental health, one chat at a time.

Our vision is:

“To achieve positive mental health and wellbeing for all men in the UK”

Our aims are; 

For the public benefit, the relief of men in need in the UK, who may be experiencing or at risk of experiencing poor mental health, by means of, but not exclusively:

a) Increasing awareness of, and reducing the stigma attached to, men’s mental health;

b) Creating content, events, partnerships and experiences that encourage men to share their own inner struggle in a friendly and supportive environment.”

First: Do no harm
We are committed at “Men Who Talk” to ensuring none of the people accessing our services are harmed in any way, whether emotional of physical.

Second: Be champions of men’s health both physical AND mental
Despite hard work by many organisations over the last few decades, there is still a lot of stigma around men in particular accessing mental and physical health services. Well, we’re here to chip away at that stigma and champion the men we work with being the best and healthiest versions of themselves.

Third: Harness the power of conversation
Sometimes a chat really can be the best medicine. Peer support groups, which offer safe, open and inclusive spaces, are great for encouraging men to think about and care for themselves more. Through the power of chat, we hope to bring men closer together, break down barriers of stigma and judgement and help the men we’re working with spread the word that talking really CAN be the answer.

Fourth: Spread positivity and boost connectivity between men in the UK
We want to create safe, supportive environments where men from across the UK can connect and discuss a variety of different topics, supporting each other as they do so. In a pandemic ridden world, connectivity has never been more important, so

LADS: get talking!
