Everyone struggles with mental health but unfortunately some struggle more than others - and they are suffering silently. Raising awareness for mental health, specifically men's mental health, is something I have become passionate about. The stigma and discrimination that surrounds mental health has resulted in thousands of preventable deaths amongst men alone. Across the world, one man dies by suicide every minute of every day, with males accounting for 75% of all suicides. I was going to do Movember when I realised I've been growing a moustache from the age of 11, I wanted to do more. I have formed a group of men to do Movember together and I will be starting a page 'More for Men's Minds' where I will post advice and support for those struggling with mental health but also for those who want to help others. On this page I want to encourage men to speak out about their experiences with mental health in hopes that this will act as a catalyst to GET MEN TALKING. Please talk to your mates, please think about your words and actions - no one really knows what people are going through. A life is worth so much more than a few difficult and uncomfortable conversations.

Any support to the cause will be appreciated. Its not about money, its more important to start talking to eachother about our difficulties, so please reach out. Like my facebook page 'More for Men's Minds' for advice, support and updates. Money raised will be split between Movember, CALM and Mind - all charities that work to support Men's Mental Health and Suicide Awareness.
