Men's Health

Paul has always been interested in Men’s Mental wellbeing and the prevention of male suicide, especially after losing a family member and 2 close friends in a two year period. He started to ask some serious questions. Does a “one size fits all” approach really help solve male mental health issues across age groups? Why is there a record amount of rehab services available for men to access, yet male mental health continues to decline and suicide rates continue to climb? Is there an opportunity to focus on more prehab initiatives and awareness building, in order to bring better balance to the male mental health ecosystem? And so the Men’s Talk Charity was born in Scarborough.

Men’s Talk is about mainstreaming conversation around Mental Health and Wellness in men of all ages, redefining masculinity and teaching all men to practice effective communication for wellbeing. We aim to achieve this through a wide array of activities including, but not limited to, open forum platforms, media and community support and activities that all the community can participate in.

At some point, we have to stop pulling people out of the river and go upstream and find out why they are falling in.
