Interview conducted by Lily Ramsey, LLMOct 2 2023 Thought LeaderLuke Tetlow-CrossProject Development ChampionANDY'S MAN CLUB Ahead of World Mental Health Day held on October 10th, ANDYSMANCLUB is a men’s suicide prevention charity offering free-to-attend peer-to-peer support groups across the United Kingdom and online.
Can you tell us about ANDYSMANCLUB's mission and how it aligns with the theme of World Mental Health Day, "Mental health is a universal human right"? ANDYSMANCLUB want to end the stigma surrounding men’s mental health and help men through the power of conversation. We believe that everyone at some stage in their life has dealt with some kind of mental health issue, whether this is a bad day, week or month, or longer-lasting trauma.
Question 3 - “Anything to get off your chest?” is designed to get men to talk about their issues and release any pressure they have been facing. We are always in the local community, whether this is a small stand at your local supermarket, hosting a walk and talk in your local park or setting up a gazebo at your local festival. So if you see us at your local event, please come to our stand and say hello.
