It’s OK to Talk – Andy’s Man Club event

November is Men’s Health Awareness Month, with International Men’s Day falling on Tuesday 19 November. This month-long event focuses on promoting physical and mental well-being among men, addressing issues such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health challenges, and suicide prevention.

In support of Men’s Health Awareness Month, we are delighted to be hosting another talk with ANDYSMANCLUB – the men’s suicide prevention charity who are helping end the stigma surrounding men’s mental health through the power of conversation #ITSOKAYTOTALK.

This information session is open to everyone, not just men, but you must be aged 18 years and over. You will hear from Sean Gill, Senior Project Development Champion at Andy’s Man Club. Sean will talk frankly and honestly about mental health, about the storms in life and negative times, and he will be including his own personal experiences with suicide, and how Andy’s Man Club has supported him and thousands of others.

Sean’s talk will focus on raising awareness, and spreading the word about Andy’s Man Club, what they do and how they want to eliminate the stigma surrounding mental health by creating judgement-free, confidential spaces where men can be open and know #ITSOKAYTOTALK.

Andy’s Man Club’s goal is to provide support to #THATONEMAN in his time of need and help him see that his tomorrow can be better than his today.

Date: Wednesday 20 November
Time: 3.30pm – 4.30pm with time for Q&As at the end
Venue: Coop Lecture Theatre (MB0312), Minerva Building, Brayford Campus
