Men Who Talk
Description
Men Who Talk (MWT) create online spaces for men to talk so they don’t have to face mental health challenges alone.
1 in 8 men in the UK face mental health challenges, and 40% don’t feel comfortable seeking help due to stigma and conventional services not feeling made for them. MWT’s concept is simple: it isn’t therapy and it isn’t counselling. It is just men talking openly with other men who get it. Because of this, they reach men that the NHS can’t. They’ve run 124 groups and supported 500+ people, but as a small team, they’re
stretched and spending most of their time on the day-to-day.
Our grant will give them capacity to focus on financial sustainability, reaching more men and playing a stronger role in shaping how the UK addresses men’s mental health.
