How honest can men be about their Mental Health?

It’s only been a year since MenTalkHealth started as podcast in a small flat in London but since that night, more and more people are joining the MTH family and encouraging people in their lives to talk about mental health. We believe the more we talk and share our own experiences; the more we can get rid of the stigma surrounding mental health.

Men, particularly, are less likely to ask for help and suicide is the biggest killer of men under 45.

MenTalkHealth has taken on the challenge of helping people up and down the country find their voice and we need your support to help others. Through podcasts, live events and talks at events like Southbank’s Being A Man Festival, we have reached so many people with our honesty and humour but we need to reach more.

We are working towards our Charity Status but in the mean time we rely on raising funds from our supporters like you.

One of our founders, Davey, has assembled a team who believe in the work MenTalkHealth does and has challenged them take on the challenge of Tough Mudder in Scotland on19th June.

It’s not just a physical feat to achieve, but also an event that encourages you to share and work with your team. Exactly the mentality we encourage here at MenTalkHealth. So please take a moment, read our team's stories and donate needed funds so we can produce more podcasts, host more events and find more ways to help get men talking.

Meet the Team

GRAHAM has been supporting Davey through his struggles for many years and has seen first hand the need for men to work together when it comes to mental health.

Ross is delighted to help raise awareness of MenTalk Health and all the great work it does in shining a light on men's mental health issues.

ANTONY is looking forward to the challenge of Tough Mudder but, more importantly, to the opportunity to raise awareness for such a fantastic organisation that gives people the opportunity to discuss and educate themselves about mental health issues affecting men - a subject so often overlooked and hushed up in the past.
