Breaking the Stigma Surrounding Men’s Mental Health

Mental health affects everyone for some it will be no more than a bad day at work or home. For some, it will be a cycle of being up and then down. For others, it will change and impact their lives every day. 

What we all must realise is that mental health is not always bad, there is good mental health, but all too often good mental gets lost in the haze of bad mental health publicity.  

In our Mental Health Talks to businesses, we look at all aspects of mental health giving personal experiences delivered by people who have first-hand experience with mental health issues. The Men’s Mind Project offer a wide range of employee mental health talks to enable good well-being in the workplace for all.

Good mental health and wellbeing is as fundamental to life as good physical health. In order for your staff to perform at their best, they need to be at their best. That is why we know that strengthening your employees’ mental resilience is the key to unlocking their full potential.

Awareness is the first step in the fight to end the stigma surrounding mental ill health. Organisations seeking a proactive approach to ending mental health stigma in the workplace can hire us to deliver our popular and engaging productivity or wellbeing talks for their staff.

Our Business Talks are open to both males and females and are designed to make people aware, get them talking, and seek help.  

We speak from experience on a variety of topics including:

Key Mental Health Facts

What Does Depression Look Like?

How you can help someone

Why We Don't Talk

What Does Anxiety Look Like?

What You Can Do to Help
