I was apprehensive heading into the session given the topic, however Steve immediately put the room at ease with his approach. By the end of the session I had a good awareness of the problem facing men and a toolkit to spot warning signs that may appear in colleagues or friends.

A Message From Our Founder.

To Our Valued Tough To Talk Community,

Today, I want to extend my deepest gratitude to all of you.

 

Your support in our mission to reduce male suicide and break the silence surrounding men’s crises and poor mental health has been incredible.

Your commitment is a beacon of hope in a society that often ignores men’s emotional, psychological and physical well-being.

Together, we are challenging the stigma, showing men everywhere that their feelings are valid and important.

Your involvement is making a tangible difference. Because of you, more men are finding the courage to speak up and seek help. You are part of a pivotal movement towards a world where no man feels expendable.

Thank you for joining us on this epic challenge. The road ahead is long, but we are making strides toward a brighter, more inclusive future with your support.
