Join us for a live panel talk with guests from the mental health sector as we discuss the realities of men's mental health for Movember.
It's no secret that men are often taught to hide their feelings, bottle things up and just 'be a man'. While that narrative is increasingly being challenged, there's still work to do to break down the stigma around men's mental health and make it easier for men to speak openly about how they're feeling.
This month on Who Are We Kidding?, we'll be joined by guests from the mental health sector to explore the realities of men's mental health, the pressures and expectations that can make it harder to ask for help, and what we can do as communities to change that.
From opening up conversations to creating safe, supportive spaces, we'll be discussing how we can encourage men to speak up, reach out when they're struggling and support one another. Because changing the conversation starts with making sure people feel able to have it.
