About us
Who we are
Founded in January 2022, MEN WHO TALK is a new peer support organisation offering men aged 18+ in the UK a space to come and chat about whats on their mind.
Our mission is to:
- 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 mens 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!
