The Men's Room - Leicester Launch

THE MENS ROOM

Poor mental health in men in the UK still has huge negative and a debilitating stigma attached to it. The reality is that there isn't enough help to go around, and we are still pointing the finger at those that speak out.
In 2022, there were 5,642 suicides registered in England and Wales, around three-quarters of suicides registered in 2022 were middle age males (4,179 deaths; 74.1%) and this number continues to grow with male suicide now the fastest growing rate of suicide being reported.
The cold reality of this is that every 2 hours in the UK a man commits suicide…
The Mens Room will be a small bi monthly gathering of male professionals and their guests, invited to discuss all things work and mental health, empowering each other to speak freely in a "communication safe place" about challenges both mentally and commercially, as these more often than not go hand in hand,
In collaboration with Ros Hill at The Nest @ Phoenix Cinema Leicester. our launch event will be held on Wednesday January 22nd 2025 at 18.00

This launch event is for me to share my journey with you, on how I have navigated (negatively & positively) the dark depths of poor mental health. I will then share with you my rational for inviting you personally and how as a collective we can reach out to brothers, whom are suffering in silence, unable to share, their demons and challenges with their current circle of friends or family.
