We fight stigma around men's mental health to reduce male suicide & improve wellbeing

Story

Menfulness is a multi-award winning local men's mental health charity based in York. The charity aims to break the stigma behind men's mental health and reduce suicide amongst men by delivering proactive events and activities that facilitate supportive conversations amongst like minded men with lived experience, and get blokes talking. These events range from talk groups, 5-a-side football, retro games nights, dad/daughter hair schools, walk and talks and much more!

When men don't talk this can lead to them hitting crisis point, and with GP's and the NHS signposting to Menfulness, we wanted to remove all barriers to men getting help, so we provide life changing counselling through Serendipity Counselling - a fully funded cycle of 6 sessions, often available within 48hrs. We have funded over 1000 hours of counselling which we feedback suggests has saved lives.
