Did you know that three times more men than women die by suicide, and yet only 36% of NHS talk therapy referrals are for men?

(Stats from: https://www.mentalhealth.org.uk/a-to-z/m/men-and-mental-health)

The Lets Talk Mate podcast, Solent Minds mens mental health chat, is here to encourage men to talk up about their mental health and wellbeing. For the month of November to build up to International Mens Day, we will be running a Sponsored Silence campaign to raise money for Solent Mind.

The 24 hour silence is designed to highlight the difficulties that come with being unable to effectively communicate your wants, needs and feelings. We encourage Solent Mind staff and the general public alike to take part, and once the silence is complete, take to social media to express how they felt during the period and the importance of talking (tagging Solent Mind social media).
