Men can be crap at looking after what's going on in their head. And we're often reluctant to engage with the subject of 'mental health'. I think part of the problem is the phrase itself. It's always a negative.

So I'm trying to change the language. And create a concept that is a positive.

That's what 'Mental Wellth' is all about.

It's a concept that asks you to look at your life, figure out the things that make you feel good about yourself, then stick these Mental Wellth 'investments' in an imaginary portfolio, and check in on them every now and then to make sure you've been doing the things that give you a little boost.

Blokes aren't good at self-care. But perhaps this idea can make taking that first step of looking after yourself a little bit easier.

You can find the full story of Mental Wellth at this website I've just set up:  

https://mentalwellth-investinyourself.com/

My aim with the website is for it to reach 1000 minds in the first year. My aim for the thing as a whole is for it to have generated one million conversations within 5 years.

And the most important of those conversations are the ones an individual has with themselves. Because, I believe, that's where it has to start.

The money I'm raising is to cover the £1000 I've chipped in to set the thing up. If I raise more it can fund further work pushing the idea out there.

I don't know if the idea will fly, or falter, but having talked to a lot of men over the last two years, I know there is a need. And I know I can't do nothing.

And maybe the concept of Mental Wellth can do some good for a few people out there.

Many thanks for reading this far. And if the idea resonates with you, please share it.

Cheers, Rohan.
