Introduction to Men's Minds Matter

Hello and welcome to Men’s Minds Matter, A brand new podcast aimed at helping guys and their families who are going through or have just been through a tough time in hope to help reduce suicide. I’m your host Si, and I am a facilitator at one of the many Andy’s Man Clubs up and down the country, I have personally struggled with mental health on and off for over 20 years and this has helped to give me a unique perspective when talking about a wide range of subjects from grief to domestic abuse and a lot in between. Like with Andy’s Man Club this is a non-judgmental podcast. All correspondence will be treated with respect, and all names will be kept out of the podcast to protect those involved unless they agree to wave their anonymity. Each episode I will be introducing a guest host and we will talk about their own struggles, what they did that helped and what they found tough. We will also try answering some of your questions as best we can. We will end the show with a couple of fun random questions using our very sophisticated and high-tech method of drawing question out of a hat. So, come on in and join us, grab a brew, put your feet up for some laughs, tears and lots of chat but most of all remember most importantly #ITSOKAYTOTALK
