My story

Not one for speaking about my problems however there has been times that I have struggled with my mental health.

It’s not something that a lot of men can explain or at times fix right away and sometimes we feel like the world is falling in around us, or just find it hard to get through the day. I understand that feeling.

But with the support of my wife and close friends they have helped me through the tough times, sometimes just speaking out helps. That’s why am doing this kilt walk for the men that struggle to speak out and let them know it’s ok not to be ok.

Men Matter Scotland

We exist to support All Men’s mental health, improve men's quality of life, expand and enrich men’s connections. We facilitate activities that support positive mental, physical and emotional health and wellbeing for men. We run weekly groups, sessions and activities, facilitated on a peer to peer basis where men can meet in a safe and friendly place, talk openly, be listened to and feel supported without judgment within a confidential setting from people who are equal to you – your peers. Men from all walks of life come together daily/weekly to share their experiences, their struggles and their advice with one another. In our peer support network and groups you are able to talk to other men who have first-hand lived experience of similar situations. Men can come along, take part, have fun, get fit, meet new people. Or men can simply come along, see what we are about and listen without any pressure to talk. This is absolutely fine too.
